Scope and Working Group Structure

Description

Summary:

The US TAG assumes a mirror structure to ISO/TC 276. As each member country has one vote within ISO/TC 276, the US vote is determined by the consensus position of US TAG members.

Scope:

The scope of ISO/TC 276 is standardization in the field of biotechnology processes including the following topics: terms and definitions; biobanks and bioresources; analytical methods; bioprocessing; data processing including annotation, analysis, validation, comparability and integration; and metrology.

ISO/TC 276 Biotechnology works closely with related committees to identify standardization needs and gaps, and collaborates to avoid duplication and overlapping of standardization activities.
