About CAP Accreditation
Pioneered in 2012, the CAP Biorepository Accreditation Program
was the first accreditation program designed to improve the quality
and consistency of biorepositories. Drawing on best practices from
ISBER, NCI, OECD, CMS and the Laboratory Accreditation Program, the
goal of the program is to provide requirements for standardization
of processes that will result in high-quality human specimens and
genetic materials that can be used to support research. Recently,
CAP physician members contributed to the ISO technical committee
that developed the ISO 20387 standard for biobanking.
