Administrative Regulations for the Field Testing of Transgenic Plants Article 18
Field testing shall include genetic characteristics investigation and biosafety assessment.Application for genetic characteristics investigation shall be made after the completion of laboratory testing, or before the plant material is acquired from overseas.Application for biosafety assessment shall be made after genetic characteristics investigation has been completed and the results have passed review.Genetic characteristics investigation and biosafety assessment may, after review and approval, be implemented concurrently for tree species that will not bloom during the year and plants that do not produce pollen.If a transgenic plant acquired from overseas has completed genetic characteristics investigation in the exporting country, the testing institution may submit verifying documents before acquiring the plant, and may apply directly for biosafety assessment if the plant passes review by the evaluation committee.
中文原文 基因轉殖植物田間試驗管理辦法第18條
田間試驗包含遺傳特性調查及生物安全評估。
申請遺傳特性調查，應於完成實驗室試驗後，或自國外引進前為之。
申請生物安全評估應於完成遺傳特性調查經審議通過後為之。
對於長年不開花之樹種或不產生花粉之植物，得經審議核定將遺傳特性調查及生物安全評估合併執行。
國外引進之基因轉殖植物如已於輸出國完成遺傳特性調查者，得於引進前檢具證明文件，送審議會審議通過後，於引進前直接申請生物安全評估。
