What is guidance?
Guidance documents are prepared for the FDA’s staff, regulated industry, and the public to describe the FDA’s interpretation of or policy on a regulatory issue. Guidance documents include, but are not limited to, documents that relate to:
- the design, production, labeling, promotion, manufacturing, and testing of regulated products
- the processing, content, and evaluation or approval of submissions
- inspection and enforcement policies
Guidance documents do not establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable statue and regulations.
