(We did not consult on code of practice 8 - Import and export of human bodies, body parts and tissue. This is because the code was only published in May 2007.)

The Code sets out practical guidance for establishments importing and exporting human bodies and tissue, including those storing tissue for transplantation (human application). The consultation ran from 3 October to 12 January 2007.
Thank you to everybody who provided feedback on the draft Code of Practice. The final version of the Code has now been published – import export Code of Practice.
Public display consultation
The consultation on the HTA Code of Practice on public display of human bodies, body parts and human took place in 2006. A revised guidance document has been prepared following the consultation.
The public display provisions of the HT Act commenced on 1 September 2006. This guidance document, together with the compliance reports, provide the necessary guidance to help the sector understand if they need to comply with the requirements.
