{{Main|Regulation of unmanned aerial vehicles}}
Regulatory bodies around the world are developing [[unmanned aircraft system traffic management]] solutions to better integrate UAVs into airspace.<ref>{{cite web |title=What is unmanned traffic management? |url=https://www.airbus.com/newsroom/stories/what-is-unmanned-traffic-management-utm.html |website=Airbus |access-date=28 January 2021 |archive-date=8 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210208195828/https://www.airbus.com/newsroom/stories/what-is-unmanned-traffic-management-utm.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

The use of unmanned aerial vehicles is becoming increasingly regulated by the [[civil aviation authority|civil aviation authorities]] of individual countries. Regulatory regimes can differ significantly according to drone size and use. The [[International Civil Aviation Organization|International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)]] began exploring the use of drone technology as far back as 2005, which resulted in a 2011 report.<ref>{{cite book | last1 =Cary | first1 =Leslie | last2 =Coyne | first2 =James | title =2011–2012 UAS Yearbook – UAS: The Global Perspective | publisher =Blyenburgh & Co | pages =112–115 | contribution =ICAO Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), Circular 328 | url =http://uvs-info.com/phocadownload/05_3a_2011/P112-P115_C&AI_ICAO-Advisory-Circular.pdf | access-date =26 February 2022 | archive-date =4 March 2016 | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20160304025432/http://uvs-info.com/phocadownload/05_3a_2011/P112-P115_C%26AI_ICAO-Advisory-Circular.pdf }}</ref> France was among the first countries to set a national framework based on this report and larger aviation bodies such as the [[Federal Aviation Administration|FAA]] and the [[European Aviation Safety Agency|EASA]] quickly followed suit.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Boedecker|first=Hendrik|title=The 2021 Drone Regulation – What is new?

FAA]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|title=UAS Remote Identification Overview|url=https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/remote_id/|access-date=29 May 2021|website=www.faa.gov|language=en-us|archive-date=27 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210527012153/https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/remote_id/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=FAA Legal Battle – Challenging Remote ID|url=https://www.racedayquads.com/pages/faa-legal-battle-to-save-fpv|access-date=29 May 2021|website=RaceDayQuads|language=en|archive-date=27 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210527012139/https://www.racedayquads.com/pages/faa-legal-battle-to-save-fpv|url-status=live}}</ref>

==== EU Drone Certification - Class Identification Label ====
The implementation of the [https://eudroneport.com/blog/uas-class-label/ Class Identification Label] serves a crucial purpose in the regulation and operation of drones.<ref>{{Cite web|title=UAS Class Label|url=https://eudroneport.com/blog/uas-class-label/|access-date=21 February 2023|website=www.eudronport.com|date=August 2022 |language=en|archive-date=5 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221005144734/https://eudroneport.com/blog/uas-class-label/|url-status=live}}</ref>  The label is a verification mechanism designed to confirm that drones within a specific class meet the rigorous standards set by administrations for design and manufacturing.<ref>{{CELEX|id=02019R0945-20200809|text=Consolidated text: Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/945 of 12 March 2019 on unmanned aircraft systems and on third-country operators of unmanned aircraft systems}}</ref> These standards are necessary to ensure the safety and reliability of drones in various industries and applications.

By providing this assurance to customers, the Class Identification Label helps to increase confidence in drone technology and encourages wider adoption across industries. This, in turn, contributes to the growth and development of the drone industry and supports the integration of drones into society.

====Export controls====
The export of UAVs or technology capable of carrying a 500&nbsp;kg payload at least 300&nbsp;km is restricted in many countries by the [[Missile Technology Control Regime]].
