Regulatory Standards
Compilation of National Policies
- The International Compilation of Human Subject Research Protections is a listing of the laws, regulations, and guidelines
that govern human subjects research in many countries around the world.
Disclaimer: Though this Compilation contains information of a legal nature,
it has been developed for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice
or opinions as to the current operative laws, regulations, or guidelines of any jurisdiction.
In addition, because new laws, regulations, and guidelines are issued on a continuing basis,
this Compilation is not an exhaustive source of all current applicable laws, regulations, and
guidelines relating to international human subject research protections. While reasonable efforts have
been made to assure the accuracy and completeness of the information provided, researchers and
other individuals should check with local authorities and/or research ethics committees before starting
research activities.
