Abstract

To improve and develop industrial products and processes, a standard is always needed. Nowadays, not only for academic activities, but also for industrial ones, various standards are developed beyond borders among nations. Therefore, the international standards are also needed. In light of that, we introduce various industrial standards relating to biofilms. Since the concept of biofilms is relatively new, there are not many existing standards for them. However, we already have some standards in advanced countries. In this chapter, we describe some related national standards for the United States, the European Union (EU), and Japan, as well as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
