Skill Standards
The information below and on linking pages details the NBC2 Harmonized Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Skill Standards. These standards were first developed at a joint industry/education meeting in Indianapolis, September 24-27, 2007.
In September 2013, a separate group of industry Subject Matter Experts congregated at Montgomery County Community College to validate and update these skill standards. This meeting resulted in a list of Key Activities for technicians in manufacturing (upstream and downstream), quality control (microbiology and biochemistry) and maintenance and instrumentation.
