ISA

ISA-88, also known as the Batch Control standard, is a framework developed by the International Society of Automation to improve how batch processes are controlled in industries like food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. It provides guidelines for designing and managing the production of goods in discrete, time-limited steps—like recipes. By standardizing terminology, processes, and documentation, ISA-88 helps organizations achieve consistency, efficiency, and compliance in manufacturing, enabling better quality control and easier integration of technology. Ultimately, it aims to enhance productivity and ensure that products are made safely and effectively.
