Standards & Accreditation

AABB’s Standards and Accreditation program is the leader in ensuring the highest level of quality and safety for the blood and biotherapies field.

AABB's Standards combine the field’s leading quality management system essentials with technical requirements designed to ensure optimal quality and safety for donors, patients and staff. These Standards form the basis of AABB's Accreditation program.

The AABB Accreditation program is internationally recognized as a symbol of quality, and facilities that have achieved AABB accreditation are known to provide quality products and services. AABB has been a leader in developing standards and accrediting facilities in the blood and biotherapies community since 1958.

To become accredited, a facility must be in compliance with the current edition of Standards and adhere to other accreditation requirements. Locate an AABB-Accredited facility.

“AABB quality systems build strong operational processes. By focusing on quality systems as the basis for building operational processes, a facility can execute operations with accuracy and precision while preventing failure.”
