BS EN 13441:2002

This standard BS EN 13441:2002 Biotechnology. Laboratories for research, development and analysis. Guidance on containment of genetically modified plants is classified in these ICS categories:

• 07.080 Biology. Botany. Zoology

This European Standard gives biological, physical and procedural containment measures for work with genetically modified plants including plants where the transferred genetic material is derived from a non-plant source. It defines measures to minimize hazards identified by risk analysis. Containment may be provided in a greenhouse or in a growthroom, laboratory or other containment facility. Containment of genetically modified microorganisms and/or small animals associated with plants is not included in this standard. Containment of microorganisms in laboratories is covered in EN 12128.
