What is ISO 35001?

ISO 35001 - Biorisk Management for Laboratories and Other Related Organisations. This is the first international standard for biorisk management.

The standard facilitates effective management of risk from biologically hazardous materials, leading to reduced environmental impact, lower probability of incidents, and more efficient use of time and resources.

From disease diagnosis to pharmaceutical and scientific research, handling biological materials is essential for many industries but is not without hazards. A biorisk management system enables an organisation to effectively identify, control and manage biosafety and biosecurity risks associated with its activities.

ISO 35001 specifies requirements and guidance for laboratories or any other organisation working with biological agents to control and reduce all risks associated with their use.
