regulatory approval
Government green light
Regulatory approval is official authorization from a government agency permitting a product or activity to proceed.
The term appears most often in pharmaceutical and medical device contexts, where new treatments must demonstrate safety and efficacy before reaching patients: The drug is still awaiting regulatory approval.
The process typically involves extensive testing, documentation, and review by bodies like the FDA in the United States or the EMA in Europe.
