Hello Everyone,

I am looking to this very knowledgeable group on interpretation of regs in 21CFR 1300 – 1321.

I just received an email from one of my colleagues in Biology.  He is concerned that there are changes to DEA iodine rules that would cause problems in his microbiology labs.  Has anyone heard such a change? 

The last notes I have regarding iodine indicate that it is not on the DHA, EPA, or OSHA 1910.1003 lists and that DEA registration does not apply to me because I am not distributing anything to anyone else.  I do see that iodine is listed as a List I chemical.  But, my understanding is that list I and list II rules would not apply to my teaching labs as I am not selling or distributing anything to anyone else.  Is this correct?

I thank you all for any input you can provide,
