ELEMENT II.4.C.: The IRB or EC has and follows written policies and procedures for making exceptions to consent requirements for planned emergency research and reviews such exceptions according to applicable laws, regulations, codes, and guidance.
An IRB or EC should have policies and procedures to consider a request for a waiver of the requirement for consent for planned emergency research, unless the organization does not intend to conduct such research. Policies and procedures should account for the differences between various laws, regulations, codes, and guidance that govern such research, such as the FDA regulations and the DHHS regulations depending on whether the research is subject to FDA regulation.
