This document specifies requirements for primary containers intended for the storage of biological materials in biobanks. In addition to general requirements, this document also specifies special requirements depending on the storage conditions, the biological material and the intended use, as well as requirements for documentation and quality control. These requirements establish the framework for ensuring that primary containers meet the necessary quality criteria. This document specifies test criteria and test methods that enable proof of conformity with the requirements. This document is primarily aimed at manufacturers that produce primary containers for the storage of biological materials. Biobanks, submitters and users of biological material, and organizations that monitor or control the work of biobanks can also use this document. NOTE For primary containers intended for biological material for therapeutic use, other requirements can apply.
