Are There Differences in Regulatory Barriers Across Countries?

Yes, regulatory barriers can vary significantly across countries. While some regulations, such as the GDPR, apply across multiple regions, other regulations are country-specific. For example, the United States has the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) that govern laboratory testing, whereas the European Union follows different directives for clinical diagnostics. Understanding these differences is crucial for laboratories operating in multiple regions or collaborating with international partners.
