Standards for Cellular Therapy Services, 12th edition – Portal

The 12th edition of Standards for Cellular Therapy Services ("CT Standards"), effective July 1, 2025, details the latest standards of practice for accredited cellular therapy facilities and includes overarching quality standards as well as specific technical standards.

Significant Changes to the 12th Edition

• Accredited programs must contact AABB if something has occurred that affects their accreditation status if they are under investigation by their relevant Competent Authority.
• Accredited programs must monitor their critical technology infrastructure and show things function as expected.
• Accredited programs must have processes for the quarantine and disposition of critical supplies and materials.
• When products are returned, accredited programs must identify the products and follow the requirements in 5.22.4 before any potential reissue.

Product Features

The Standards Portal allows users to customize their profile based on the activities for which they are accredited and can be rearranged at any time. Standards that do not apply to a user’s profile will appear grayed out to ensure that purchasers are aware of the standards that apply to their facility and those that do not.

The Standards Portal is also fully searchable by key word, chapter, or standard number, allowing users to navigate quickly to the most relevant standards to them at that time. Guidance is provided on how to implement a standard, why it was created, or why a change was made from this edition to the last. Any relevant documentation that would assist users in implementing the standard in question is provided.

Benefits to Users

All links to outside websites and cross references to other standards in the portal are live and appear in popup windows to allow users to be able to see both the standard in question and the linked post. The full edition of the CT Standards (not including any guidance) is printable at any time to ensure that users can take the CT Standards on the go.

Any interim or emergent standards will appear seamlessly in the portal once effective and highlighted.

By purchasing the CT Standards through the AABB Standards Portal (“Portal”), users acknowledge and agree that they will access the Standards solely for their own personal and/or professional use and not distribute, copy, or provide access to the CT Standards for use by any third parties. Furthermore, users will securely maintain their login and password for the Portal. In the event that AABB or its authorized agents discover that users have not complied with these Terms and Conditions of Use, they understand that they will lose all rights to access the CT Standards and will not be entitled to any refund.
