• the need to make accurate measurements traceable to the SI in these fields,
• the lack of an adequate metrological infrastructure to ensure such traceability,

recommends national laboratories

• to consider developing programmes related to the measurement of quantities important in biotechnology,
• to collaborate with the international scientific unions and the international organizations concerned in the establishment of an adequate international measurement infrastructure to ensure traceability to the SI in measurements in biotechnology.
