Biological reagents for scientific research are an important component of scientific and technological resources, widely serving scientific research and national economic development, and playing a crucial role in scientific and technological innovation. It occupies an important position. The formulation of this document resolves the issues of the lack of unified classification and coding for biological reagents used in scientific research, providing a basis for the development of the industry. Supporting and standardizing the research, development, production, distribution, application, and evaluation of biological reagents for scientific research is of great significance for establishing and improving the biological reagent standard system. It has meaning. Classification and Codes of Biological Reagents for Scientific Research

1 Scope

GB/T 46203-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering a classification for laboratory biological reagents - the antibodies, enzymes, media, kits and cell lines, arranged into categories with codes, so that procurement, inventory and shared-facility catalogues speak the same language. First edition, in force from 1 February 2026. Issued on 5 October 2025, it has been in force since 1 February 2026.

This document defines the terminology and definitions of biological reagents used in scientific research, establishes classification principles, specifies the classification basis and classification code table, and describes... The encoding method is described. This document applies to the information classification, sharing, and exchange management of biological reagents used in scientific research. The industry management departments for biological reagents used in scientific research should refer to this document. use.
