Viral safety of biological products in WHO policy
1Biologicals Unit, World Health Organization, Genève.
Abstract:
The production and quality control of biological products are regulated by the different national and international requirements. One of the many functions of WHO is to develop an international consensus on basic criteria for the acceptability of biological products. These include general and international requirements for the production of individual biological products (vaccines, interferons, blood and blood products, etc.). Production and control of biologicals includes control of substrates, products during manufacture, and the final lots. By means of the application of these international requirements and guidelines, biological products can be manufactured with high quality, safety--especially viral safety--and efficacy.
