Does the RTRI need to be registered in my country before use?

Possibly. Some country regulating bodies may require registration of the RTRI prior to routine use, and registration requirements may differ based on the intended use (e.g., research vs. surveillance). We recommend that programs review their country’s registration requirements well ahead of planned implementation (including timeline for registration, costs of registration, and technical requirements) to ensure there is sufficient time to complete this process before the activity is rolled out. In some countries, a waiver of registration may be granted for research or surveillance purposes
