ISO 35001 discusses bio risk management for laboratories and other related organisations. ISO 35001 is an international standard that provides for bio risk management in labs and related organisations.
ISO 35001 layouts a process to identify, assess, control, and monitor the risks associated with hazardous biological materials.
ISO 35001 helps in establishing the bio risk management principles that enable laboratories and related facilities to achieve their biosafety and biosecurity objectives.
ISO 35001 applies to any laboratory or other organization that works with, stores, transports, and/or disposes of hazardous biological materials. ISO 35001 is intended to complement existing International Standards for laboratories.
Note 1: ISO 35001 is not intended for laboratories that test for the presence of microorganisms and/or toxins in food or feedstuffs.
Note 2: ISO 35001 is not intended for the management of risks from the use of genetically modified crops in agriculture.
ISO 35001 on bio risk management for laboratories and other related organisations is useful for:
The bio risk management system is based on a management system approach, which enables an organization to effectively identify, assess, control, and evaluate the biosafety and biosecurity risks inherent in its activities.
ISO 35001 guideline assists you with the context of the organisation, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance, evaluation, and improvement for bio risk management for laboratories and other related organisations.
This assists you to achieve a proper bio risk management system framework to be integrated into a laboratory and provides a process that mitigates bio risks (biosafety and biosecurity risks). In addition, ISO 35001 guides on the implementation wherever appropriate.
