What does ICCBBA stand for?
ICCBBA is the name of the not-for-profit organization that continues to develop, maintain, manage, and distribute the ISBT 128 information standard. It was formally known as the International Council for Commonality in Blood Banking Automation, but over the years has evolved to encompass the tissue and cellular therapy fields as well. Now that ISBT 128 has gone well beyond just the blood banking industry, that name is unsuitable, and we have chosen to drop the name but keep the letters. So now ICCBBA is no longer an acronym, it is simply the name of our organization.
