Environmental Management (Biosafety) (Amendment) Regulations, 2015 (G.N. No. 41 of 2015).

These Regulations amend the Environmental Management (Biosafety) Regulations, 2009 by giving new definitions of "confined use" and "contained use" and by providing anew with respect to "strict liability" (sections 6 and 56). All approvals for introduction of GMO or their products shall be subject to a condition that the applicant is strictly liable for any damage caused to any person or entity. Such liability shall not apply to research as defined by these Regulations. A Practical Manual for Safe Conduct of Confined Field Trials and a Practical Manual for Containment and the National Biosafety Guidelines shall regulate researchers and research activities as prescribed under these Regulations (section 56A).
