CFR stands for "Code of Federal Regulations." It is a collection of rules and regulations that have been issued by federal agencies in the United States to exercise the powers given to them by Congress. The CFR is divided into 50 titles that represent broad areas subject to federal regulation.
Each title is further divided into chapters, which are then divided into parts. Within each part, the regulations are organized by subject matter and are numbered consecutively.
The CFR is updated on a regular basis, with new rules and regulations being added and existing ones being revised as necessary. It is published by the Office of the Federal Register (OFR) and the Government Printing Office (GPO). The OFR is responsible for editing the CFR and for making sure that the regulations are consistent with the law.
The CFR is a primary source of regulatory information for businesses, industry, and the public. It contains rules and regulations that apply to a wide range of areas, including food and drugs, environmental protection, transportation, and trade. It also provides guidance to businesses and organizations on how to comply with federal laws and regulations.
Some of the FDA regulations can be found in Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR), which covers food and drugs, and it is divided into multiple parts, specific to certain topics like General (Part 1), Food (Part 110) , Drugs (Part 200-1000) , Medical Devices( Part 801-1299), Animal Drugs, Feeds, and related topics (Part 500-599)
