Biotechnology - Modified organisms for application in the environment - Guidance for the monitoring strategies for deliberate releases of genetically modified viruses

Scope

This European Standard provides guidance on factors and criteria to be considered for the determination of the suitability and validity of the design, development and execution of a monitoring strategy for GMVs. Monitoring encompasses detection of viral genetic material and/or symptoms specific for the infected host, as well as, the identification of GMVs in an experimental release.
