NF S 96-900 Certification

We support you throughout your certification process.

Obtaining NF S 96-900 Certification

Biological Resource Centres (or biobanks) must demonstrate the excellence of their services to the scientific research community and may also be eligible for financial support.

Certification in accordance with the NF S96-900 standard enables them to effectively control risks through reliable processes, demonstrate the traceability and quality of their samples to research stakeholders, and facilitate exchanges with other BRCs using the same methods.

Certification offers several advantages:

  • Recognition of the reliability of processes and the quality of biological resources by stakeholders in research, the pharmaceutical sector, and education.
  • Membership in a network of BRCs certified by an independent and recognized body.
  • Easier collaboration and exchange with other BRCs.

We offer tailored support for this certification process.
