About the standard
The Relationships with Industry standard was published in January 2010 and is under review to support regulated members in navigating this topic. Amendments and additions to this standard provide more information relating to conflicts of interest and teaching aids. Certain clauses relating to research were moved from this standard to the Human Health Research standard to support its relevancy.
What’s changed?
- Elements related to conflicts of interest added to ensure regulated members better understand expectations;
- Research-related clauses moved to draft Health Research standard to support content relevancy; and
- Information on teaching aids added for clarification.

In this standard, it references the "Human Health Research" Standard yet we are also renaming the Human Health Research standard to "Health Research". This should be consistent.
