RISK CATEGORY
Category I: experiments involving self cloning,
using strains and also inter species cloning
belonging to organism in the same exchanger
group etc. are exempt for the purpose of intimation
and approval.

![Page 13: Lectut btn-202-ppt-l41. risk assessment in genetic engineering](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051301/5a65775d7f8b9a931a8b5c5b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Category II: experiments falling under containment
levels II, III and IV, large scale use of recombinants
made of self cloning in systems belonging to
exempt category etc. require prior intimation to
IBSC.

![Page 14: Lectut btn-202-ppt-l41. risk assessment in genetic engineering](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051301/5a65775d7f8b9a931a8b5c5b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Category III: experiments involving toxin gene
cloning, cloning of genes for vaccine production,
use of infectious animals and plant viruses, self
fusion experiments, field testing and release etc.
require review and approval of IBSC before
commencement.
The categories of genetic engineering experiments
on plants have been notified specifically under the
“Revised Guidelines for Research in Transgenic
Plant, 1998” by DBT.14
![Page 15: Lectut btn-202-ppt-l41. risk assessment in genetic engineering](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051301/5a65775d7f8b9a931a8b5c5b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
FOR PLANTS
Category I: need only intimation to the IBSC in theprescribed performa.
Category II include lab and greenhouse/nethouseexperiments in contained environment where definedDNA fragments that are non pathogenic to human andanimals are used for genetic transformation of plants.
Permission for category II experiments is provided byIBSC but the decision of the IBSC needs to be intimatedto the review committee on genetic manipulation(RCGM) before execution of the experiment and RCGMwould put this information on record.

Category III: pertains to high risk experiments
where the escape of transgenic traits into the open
environment could cause significant alterations in
the biosphere, the ecosystem, the plants and
animals by dispersing new genetic traits, the effects
of which cannot be judged precisely.
