ISO/TC 336 - Laboratory design

ISO/TC 336 is a Technical Committee within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is named "Laboratory design" and is responsible for: Standardization in the field of laboratory design including site selection, design of internal layout of space and services with the objective to provide functional, safe, energy efficient and sustainable laboratories taking into account environmental impact, the practical division of experimental and support areas and layouts plus model selection of laboratory furniture. It includes standardization of apparatus and devices for personal safety aspects that are an integral part of the laboratory. Design of devices and apparatus for experiment purposes covered by ISO/TC 48 as well as design of measuring instruments are excluded from the scope. Excluded: • ISO/TC 48 (laboratory equipment); • ISO/TC 212 (Clinical laboratory testing and in vitro diagnostic test systems); • CASCO; • IEC/TC 66 (Safety of measuring control and laboratory equipment); • ISO/TC 209 (Clean rooms). This committee has published 1 standards.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.

A Technical Committee (TC) in ISO is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
