OmniReg Regulatory Briefings

Regulatory Briefings

Close readings of single instruments, stating who each requirement applies to, and what the instrument does not require.

How these are written

Every statement in a briefing is taken from the instrument, its Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement, or the issuing authority's own guidance, and each briefing lists its primary sources. Where an obligation falls on some parties and not others, the briefing says which. Where a requirement is a common practice rather than something the instrument imposes, the briefing separates the two.

Corrections are dated and left visible on the page rather than made silently.

The Regulatory Record

A briefing takes one instrument at a time. The Regulatory Record is the weekly companion: five items each Friday from Health Canada, the FDA and the EMA, each with the primary source and one line on what a registration holder has to do about it.
