TAF developed and provided the biobanking accreditation service based on ISO 20387 for which accredited biobank enhanced its competence, impartiality, and consistent operation following ISO 20387 and relevant requirements. At the same time, it improves the quality of the accredited biobank and encourages the confidence of parties of interest in the accredited biobank.

Before application, applicants are advised to read the TAF document “Biobanking Accreditation Service Manual (TAF-BB-A01)” to better understand relevant requirements, and the application process and procedures to facilitate the accreditation process.
