In June 2024, WHO has published the revised Laboratory biosecurity guidance.

As of May 2024, CWA 16335:2011 Biosafety professional competence standard has been converted to ISO/TS 5441:2024 Competence requirements for biorisk management advisors.

Synthetic biology is developing at a rapid pace, which means there is a risk that biosafety will come under pressure.

The Biosecurity Office regularly attends meetings abroad with the aim of sharing knowledge, acquiring knowledge and networking.

As of November 2019, CWA 15793 Laboratory biorisk management standard has been converted to ISO 35001: 2019 Biorisk management for laboratories and other related organizations.

Due to continued success, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will again organize a seminar on export control of strategic goods.
