U.S. TAG for ISO/TC276: Biotechnology
Summary
The primary goal of the US Technical Advisory Group (US TAG) to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committee (TC) 276 Biotechnology is to promote emerging biotechnology and biomanufacturing through global standards.
NIST administers the US TAG to ISO/TC276: Biotechnology as a means to coordinate U.S. input to standards development that helps to advance various biotechnology sectors. The US TAG, accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), adheres to the cardinal principles of consensus, due process, and openness. The US TAG maintains a membership that represents balanced U.S. biotechnology interests.
