Abstract

The European Union's Tissues and Cell Directive and the US regulations for tissue banks, both produced in 2004, recognize the need to revise current tissue-processing activities and address related risks of infection. The principle behind these regulations and the Australian and New Zealand, Reproductive Technology Accreditation Committee (RTAC) Code of Practice, produced in 2005, are all similar with an underlying quality management theme. Each of these documents is based on the premise to safeguard public health in the prevention of transmission of infectious diseases via transplanted tissues and cells.
