Article 46¹⁰ and its purpose
Article 46¹⁰ of the Code of Administrative Offences of Georgia establishes administrative liability for breaching the appropriate rules, standards and requirements established by Georgian legislation for protecting the quality and safety of human organs, tissues and cells. The norm serves the protection of patients: human organs, tissues and cells used for medical purposes must meet strict quality and safety standards, because the health and life of the recipient depend directly on the quality of this material.
The scope of the article is defined as follows: it concerns human organs, tissues and cells, with the exception of reproductive tissues and cells — material of the reproductive direction therefore remains outside the frame of this norm. The object of the offence is compliance with the appropriate rules, standards and requirements established for the protection of quality and safety.
