ISO/TC 48/WG 3 - Microfluidic Devices

ISO/TC 48/WG 3 is a Working Group within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is named "Microfluidic Devices" and is responsible for: ISO/TC 48/WG 3 addresses standardization of microfluidic components, interfaces, protocols for associated testing and protocols for microflow control to be applied in the development and the fabrication processes (manufacturing, testing and assembly) of microfluidic devices. ISO/TC 48/WG 3 also includes standardization of the terms and definitions related to microfluidic components. This committee has published 2 standards.

ISO/TC 48/WG 3 develops ISO 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 Working Group in ISO is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.
