FR Recognition List Number 055 Date of Entry 12/21/2020 
FR Recognition Number 7-304
Standard
CLSI  M23 5th Edition
Development of In Vitro Susceptibility Testing Criteria and Quality Control Parameters
Scope/Abstract
This guideline provides direction for determining breakpoints and QC parameters for antimicrobial agents that have a direct action on microorganisms. The intended audience includes sponsors (eg, antimicrobial agent manufacturers) planning to submit data to establish or revise QC ranges and susceptibility testing breakpoints and interpretive categories for inclusion in CLSI susceptibility testing documents. The methods described do not apply to:
. Slow-growing mycobacteria, for which specific guidance is available (see CLSI document M2412)
. Antimicrobial agents formulated for direct administration to skin or mucous membranes or for inhalation
. Antimicrobial agents that are intended to exert activity within the gut lumen

Guidance presented in M23 applies only to CLSI procedures and documents.
Extent of Recognition
Complete standard
Rationale for Recognition
This standard is relevant to medical devices and is recognized on its scientific and technical merit and/or because it supports existing regulatory policies.
Transition Period
FDA recognition of CLSI M23 5th Edition [Rec# 7-304] will be superseded by recognition of CLSI M23 6th Edition [Rec# 7-319]. FDA will accept declarations of conformity, in support of premarket submissions, to [Rec# 7-304] until December 20, 2025. After this transition period, declarations of conformity to [Rec# 7-304] will not be accepted.
