5.5 Microbiological processes

Overview

5.5.2 Repeatability of results of microbiological processes 

In the case of microbiological processes, special attention must be given to the requirement of repeatability referred to in F‑III, 3. If biological material has been deposited in accordance with Rule 31, repeatability is ensured by the possibility of taking samples (Rule 33(1)), and so there is no need to specify any other process for producing the material.

Rule 33(1)
