Manchester Collaboration

H2ydrogem collaborated with iGEM teams from nine other countries (EU, USA, Brazil, Japan, Chile, Indonesia, Korea, Canada and India) to create a comprehensive document on GMM legislation around the world. Each team conducted extensive research into the laws surrounding GMM inclusion and labelling in commercial products. This research was then collected and summarised to produce integrated responses to the following six questions:


    What institutional body enforces the laws regarding the use of GMMs?
    What institutional body enforces the laws regarding the use of GMMs?
    Who regulates the use of GMMs on a case-by-case basis?
    What legal requirements do I have to fulfil in order to be able to use GMMs in my business?
    As an employer who exposes their workers to biological agents, what safety measures am I obliged to adopt?
    As a consumer, how do I know if a product I want to buy contains GMMs?
    What are the most important documents related to GMMs?


This document can be viewed on the Manchester iGEM team’s page. We used this document to assist in the formulation of our business plan (particularly our distribution strategy) and our safety protocols.
