Several regulatory bodies oversee the approval of catalysts and catalytic processes. Some of the key organizations include:
- Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Focuses on environmental impact and safety. - Food and Drug Administration (FDA): Ensures that catalysts used in pharmaceutical manufacturing meet safety standards. - European Medicines Agency (EMA): Similar to the FDA, but for the European Union. - Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA): Ensures workplace safety around the use of catalysts.
