1. It is very difficult. You would probably have to live near the registry or be a researcher. But a lot of them dont work anyways!
2. I am pretty sure that is a CYA move by the companies- it means it cant be used to make anything for people. For instance, they dont want to get sued if someone buys 200 proof ethanol and drinks it, or uses something they sell to make pharmaceuticals, or to self medicate.
3. In the USA, there are no real regulations on "doing" diybio. There may be restrictions on particular organisms or chemicals, but not on doing biology as a whole. In europe there are strict regulations on GMOs of any sort, and lab environments.
THAT SAID, the self-imposed rule is to be responsible. Do research into what is and is not safe. Talk to people, send out emails to the list, and don't be shady. Find a responsible way to dispose of your trash, don't grow anything even mildly pathogenic. Be careful, both of misunderstandings and of the actual hazards of the lab. Wear gloves. Don't eat stuff you make (unless you are brewing).
Good luck. If you are looking for a place to get started, check out my blog/stay on the list- i have an idea brewin'.

Hi guys, I have some questions.1. Is it possible to get Biobricks from the Registry of Standard parts to use in a DIYbio lab?2. On lab reagents label it always says "Only for research use", using it at home or at a community lab would be a research use?3. Are there any rules for doing DIYbio?Sorry if these topics have been covered.Thanks =)--
