The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has prepared this guidance in accordance with section 212 of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (Public Law 104-121). It is intended to help small entity establishments that manufacture1 human cells, tissues, or cellular or tissue-based products (HCT/Ps) better understand the comprehensive regulatory framework for HCT/Ps, set forth in Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 1271 (21 CFR 1271).2 Section 21 CFR 1271.3 provides definitions for important terms used in 21 CFR 1271. This guidance document supersedes the guidance of the same title dated August 2007. In general, FDA’s guidance documents do not establish legally enforceable responsibilities. Instead, guidances describe the Agency’s current thinking on a topic and should be viewed only as recommendations, unless specific regulatory or statutory requirements are cited. The use of the word should in Agency guidances means that something is suggested or recommended, but not required.
