Chairperson (until end 2028):Mr Dr Ricardo Gent
-
ISO Technical Programme Manager [TPM]:ISO Editorial Manager [EM]:
- Creation date: 2013
Scope
Standardization in the field of biotechnology processes that includes the following topics:
- Terms and definitions;
- biobanks and bioresources;
- analytical methods;
- bioprocessing;
- data processing including annotation, analysis, validation, comparability and integration;
- metrology.
ISO/TC 276 Biotechnology will work closely with related committees in order to identify standardization needs and gaps, and collaborate with other organisations to avoid duplications and overlapping standardization activities.
The committee will not pursue subjects within the scope of other TCs including but not limited to ISO/TC 212 and ISO/TC 34/SC 16.
