This European Standard specifies general requirements for management and organization of procedures for conservation of microorganisms used for large-scale process and production. It is intended to secure safe handling and also to ensure that reproducible
results are obtained in biotechnology processes. This European Standard specifies methods of handling and preservation of microbial strains or cell lines obtained from animals, plants and viruses in order to get reproducible and safe cultivation processes for the industrial production of substances.
NOTE: Attention is drawn to the existing national regulations concerned with the handling of microorganisms. This European Standard is applicable to microorganisms.
Diese ÖNORM beschreibt in allgemeiner Form Grundsätze für Verwaltung und Organisation für die Konservierung von Mikroorganismen, die für Verfahren und Produktion im Großmaßstab verwendet werden, einschließlich Industrie und Forschung. Hauptziel ist es, die sichere Handhabung zu ermöglichen, um reproduzierbare Ergebnisse zu erhalten.
