Standards

The Biomedical and Health Standards Committee (BHSC) has published and presently oversees the following standards across four technical domains:

68

Total Standards

Standard deliverables include Singapore Standards and Technical References. Standards are developed primarily through adoption of international standards and development with inputs from industry.

64

Singapore Standards (SS)

Singapore Standards (SS) are nationally recognised documents, established by consensus. They are functional or technical requirements in the form of specifications for materials, product system or process, codes of practice, methods of test, terminologies and guides.

04

Technical References (TR)

Technical References (TR) are transition documents developed to help meet urgent industry demand on a particular product, process or service in an area where reference standards are not available. Unlike Singapore Standards, TRs are not gazetted and are issued without the consensus process.
