Low risk genetic material (including low risk vectors)

Effective 14 July 2015 to 2 December 2015

Low risk genetic material (including low risk vectors)

  1. Purified genetic material from multicellular organisms (excluding plants).

  2. Purified genetic material from multicellular organisms (excluding plants) and microorganisms (including viruses) contained in (or transcribed from) plasmid vectors, cosmid vectors, bacterial artificial chromosomes and yeast artificial chromosomes or bacteriophages, not coding for virulence factors. This material may also be imported in the vectors as listed below:

    2.1 Adeno-associated virus (human AAV’s only)

    2.2 Bacillus subtilis

    2.3 E. coli

    2.4 Lentivirus (human Lentiviruses only)

    2.5 Pichia spp.

    2.6 Saccharomyces spp.

    2.7 Sindbis virus

Note: For genetic material derived from plants please refer to BICON.
