New gene technology certification guidelines

Abstract

Over the past 12 months, the Office of the Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR) has implemented a number of major reforms to the certification guidelines for physical containment (PC) facilities. The recent changes are more outcome-focussed and are more aligned with other standards and regulations (www.daff.gov.au/aqis/import/general-info/qap/class-5/criteria, www.standards.com.au).
