Biosafety Level definition

Biosafety Level means a classification of biological safety that may be documented on a material safety data sheet (MSDS) for a microbial culture. ATCC (American Type Culture Collection) has the following three classifications for microbial cultures:

Biosafety Level means a classification of biological safety that may be documented on a material safety data sheet (MSDS) for a microbial culture. ATCC (American Type Culture Collection) has the following three classifications for microbial cultures: • biosafety level 1: the culture is not known to cause disease in healthy human adults or animals,• biosafety level 2: the culture may cause disease in humans or animals, and• biosafety level 3: the culture is known to cause serious or potentially lethal disease in humans or animals;
