This standard specifies the basic principles, classification and basic requirements for biosafety protection of causative bacteria laboratories.
This standard is applicable to laboratories carrying out activities such as bacteria-related research, teaching, testing and diagnosis.
2 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
laboratory biosafety
it refers to that the biosafety conditions and state in the laboratory are not lower than the permissible level; unacceptable damage to laboratory personnel, visitors, communities and environment can be avoided; and requirements of relevant laws, regulations and standards for laboratory biosafety responsibilities can be satisfied
2.2
risk
the integrity of danger occurrence probability and its result severity
2.3
risk assessment
the whole process to assess risk and determine whether it is acceptable
2.4
risk control
the comprehensive measures adopted for reducing risks
2.5
personal protective equipment; PPE
the apparatus and articles that prevent personnel and individual from harm of biological, chemical or physical hazard factor
2.6
biosafety cabinet; BSC
the control cabinet with pneumatic control and high-efficient air filtration unit; which may effectively reduce the hazard of causative bacteria or the harmful aerosols produced during bioexperiment to the operator and environment
