The decision to adopt one or more management standards is voluntary; however, once that decision has been made, compliance with the various requirements of the standard becomes mandatory in order to achieve or maintain certification\/accreditation. Unlike management standards, which are generic and applicable to a wide range of organisations, these recommendation documents have been specifically developed for biobank management. For this reason, they are directly applicable to the most specific aspects of a biobank\u2019s organisation.  <br>A Good Practice is a management concept that holds that there is a technique, method, process, or activity that is more effective than any other for achieving a given result.<br>A Guideline is any document intended to guide specific processes in accordance with an established routine.<br>Documents and Guidelines used as reference for the management of the BTN-INCYL.<\/p><ul><li><br\/><strong>ISBER Best Practices for Repositories<\/strong>: Acquisition, Storage, Retrieval and Distribution of Biological Materials for Research (<strong>ISBER Best Practices for Repositories: Collection, Storage, Retrieval and Distribution of Biological Materials for Research<\/strong>). Cell Preservation Technology 6(1), 3\u201358, 2008.<br\/>This is a Good Practice document aimed at biobank managers and staff, covering both management and technical aspects, with a detailed approach to practical issues such as infrastructure, equipment, safety, and staff training. It is applicable to both human and non-human sample biobanks and focuses on the daily management of a biobank. ISBER has developed a self-assessment tool that allows any organisation to determine the extent to which it complies with the Good Practices published in this document.   <\/li><li><strong>National Cancer Institute (NCI) Best Practices for Biospecimen Resources<\/strong> (2007).<br\/>This document was developed specifically for biobanks supported by the NCI that store human biological samples. It focuses on the management, quality, and protection of data associated with biological material. It also includes a specific section on intellectual property.   <\/li><li><strong>OECD Best Practice Guidelines for Biological Resource Centres<\/strong> (2007) and OECD Guidelines on Human Biobanks and Genetic Research Databases (2009).<br\/>The OECD has developed guidelines for both human and microbiological biobanks. These guidelines are oriented towards the certification of biobanks in accordance with national and\/or international standards. Their development has been influenced by microbial Biological Resource Centres, and therefore one of their main areas of focus is the authentication of biological material.   <\/li><li><strong><br\/>Standardised Model for Biobanks, Marble Arch Working Group on International Biobanking.<\/strong> Compiled Standard Model for Biobanks (2008), cited as MECB-07.<br\/>The Marble Arch Working Group has developed and published Good Practice Guidelines for biobanks, based on various previous guidelines and using <strong>ISO 17025 and ISO 34<\/strong> as references.
