ISBT 128 Standard - Technical specification v6.2.2

The ISBT 128 Standard is an international standard to convey information about medical products of human origin (MPHO) clearly and accurately. It was originally created as a labelling standard but has been redefined as an international standard for the transfer of information associated with MPHO.

ISBT 128 provides for a globally unique donation numbering system, internationally standardised product definitions, and standard data structures for barcoding and electronic data interchange. The standard is continually updated based on new and changing user needs.
