About Standards and Guidelines for Biosafety Laboratories
Standards and Guidelines for Biosafety Laboratories
Among the many standards and guidelines for biosafety laboratories, a few are internationally known and applicable to many settings and projects. We'll present an overview of the most commonly used standards and guidelines, especially for the operation of biosafety laboratories and laboratory building projects in countries without a comprehensive legal and normative framework. In addition, we plan on highlighting the following key aspects: requirements on tightness and requirements on redundancy.
