ISO 21709:2020 Biotechnology - Biobanking - Process and quality requirements for establishment, maintenance and characterization of mammalian cell lines
This document specifies process and quality requirements for the biobanking of mammalian (including human) cell lines. It describes requirements for the fundamental procedures of the biobank handling cell lines, such as establishment, reception, identification, propagation, preservation, storage, quality control, and distribution of cell lines.
This document can be used by organizations performing biobanking activities with mammalian cell lines used for research and development, biobank users, organizations and schemes using peerassessment and accreditation bodies.
This document does not apply to biological material intended for therapeutic use.
NOTE International, national or regional regulations or requirements can also apply to specific topics covered in this document.
