==='''What are Regulatory Sandboxes?'''===

A regulatory sandbox is a tool that allows regulators to learn how to incorporate or best regulate innovation before making permanent regulatory changes. It allows for temporary limited authorizations of innovation and demonstrates how regulatory regimes could be modernized, while under regulatory supervision. Evidence gathered can help a regulator decide whether to make any permanent changes, including how an innovative product, service, process, regulatory approaches, or non-regulatory approach should be managed. <blockquote>For example, regulators may want to understand how a regulatory approach would work for a new technology that is not currently permitted under existing regulation. In these cases, regulators could enable regulatory sandboxes by issuing temporary authorization from specific legislative or regulatory requirements. This allows them to evaluate how the new technology could be regulated in a modern or innovative way.
