EU regulations mandate a case-by-case risk assessment for the contained use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) to ensure safety for human health and the environment. Each assessment evaluates key factors such as the specific traits of the GMO, containment measures in place, intended use, and potential environmental interactions. This approach allows authorities to apply tailored safety measures based on scientific evidence, with stricter scrutiny for higher-risk activities to mitigate potential hazards.
To support compliance, organizations use digital case management solutions like cBrain's F2, which streamline evaluation, documentation, and reporting processes. By automating workflows and ensuring structured regulatory compliance, these tools help institutions manage GMO risk assessments efficiently while adhering to EU safety requirements.
