Repeatability of results of microbiological processes

 

In the case of microbiological processes, particular regard should be had to the requirement of repeatability referred to in II, 4.11. As for biological material deposited under the terms of Rule 28, repeatability is assured by the possibility of taking samples (Rule 28(3)), and there is thus no need to indicate another process for the production of the biological material.
