For reference, the information needed in Part 2 of the Nagoya ABS Checklist has been reproduced below. Please download the checklist to complete the table.

Part 2. Recordkeeping template

Based on the outcome from the decision tool in Part 1, the material is not subject to NP-related obligations. As a ‘due diligence record’ please complete the table below to provide evidence and reason(s) why the MATERIAL is NOT subject to NP-related obligations. Contact research governance team to discuss case-specific queries.

It is necessary to keep records for 20 years. This information may be requested by the UK regulator. Please provide a copy of this document to the research governance team (you can do this by email).

Please note that further action may be required to comply with country-specific ABS requirements and also any relevant non-ABS requirements (see note 2).
