Overview of Regulatory
What is Regulatory?
Sourcing, movement, handling, storage, and traceability are governed by strict regulations globally for serum products also known as Animal By-Products (ABPs)
Controls are implemented on these products globally and govern sourcing through to end product traceability. While similar sanctions are imposed around the world, they do differ between markets and are enforced by market-specific biosecurity authorities who determine the control measures they apply on a risk-led basis. This includes requirements for both import and export of these products globally.
Concerns arise when disease outbreaks occur that then limits the access to materials that no longer have free movement globally. Biosecurity authorities manage these risks at the market level, as well as authorities, such as the World Organization for Animal Health.
At a high regulatory level, when faced with market-specific or wider regulation changes, the ISIA will leverage our industry network, global competent authorities, working groups and associations such as Med Tech to influence how ABPs are considered and controlled.
