Does 21 CFR 820 really revise every year?

I've noticed that 21 CFR 820 seems to update on April 1st every year, but I don't recall seeing any changes made to any of the clauses in the regulation. Are there really changes to the reg every year? And where can I find out what changes have been made?

I have some coworkers that very concerned that their little blue 21 CFR book is outdated. I don't want to buy a bunch of new ones if there have been no changes to the regulation.

I do not believe the CFR changed. Since the CFR is a LAW, it is most likely updated with new references for the latest laws that pertain to the CFR, but the substance has not changed. The little blue books are fine.

No, part 820 hasn't been updated since 1996. The federal register as a whole is updated each April (maybe), but part 820 hasn't been updated.

Yeah, the April 1st date seemed a little suspicious to me too. You know those jokers at the FDA....:biglaugh:
