About CVM

The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Compliance Program Guidance Manual contains a series of documents, commonly called “Compliance Programs,” which are prepared and managed by each of the Centers that constitute the FDA. These documents provide guidance and instructions to FDA personnel for conducting investigations, inspections, sample collections, sample analyses and regulatory activities in specific program areas.

A Compliance Program does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations enforced by the FDA. It is intended for FDA personnel and is available electronically to the public.

The Compliance Programs currently managed by the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) are on the CPG Manuals page. Other Compliance Programs which are managed by other FDA Centers can be found in electronic form on the FDA’s Office of Regulatory Affairs’ (ORA) web page - Compliance Program Guidance Manual for FDA Staff.
