Following the last session on biomedical cell products (BMCP) within IPhEB 2019 (read more in the article), there was published the Order on the administrative regulations for the provision of licensing services for the production of BMCP on the website of Roszdravnadzor.

Licensing of production has long been a pressing problem in the organization of introduction of BMCP into circulation. General provisions on licensing of BMCP can be found in the article. Prior to the administrative regulations, other legal acts regulating licensing of BMCP were also published. Among them:

1. Regulation on licensing activities for the production of biomedical cell products.

2. Administrative regulations for the control of activities for the production of biomedical cell products.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned legislative acts imply the production of BMCP of autologous, allogenic, combined products, including BMCP unregistered in Russia — for preclinical and clinical trials. (read more about BMCP types here https://beawire.com/ru/biomedical-cell-products/)
