Laboratory Quality Certificate

In order to be able to talk about quality in laboratories, the following three factors must be realized:

  • Accurate and reliable results should be given in laboratories.
  • Results should be given on time.
  • The needs and expectations of those who demand services should be met.

The first standards were developed by the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) for this purpose. These standards relate to the standardization of laboratory analyzes applied to products traded between countries. This standard is then converted to ISO / IEC 17025 General Conditions for Qualification of Test and Calibration Laboratories.

In the meantime, a standard prepared by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) has turned into a standard of requirements for ISO 15189 Medical laboratories - Quality and qualification.

In this process, these organizations and the International Standards Organization worked together.

Quality Studies in Laboratories

Nowadays, laboratories can be evaluated in two different ways in terms of quality systems:

  • It is subject to ISO 9000 Quality Management Systems standards in terms of compliance of activities to standards.
  • It is subject to ISO 17025 and ISO 15189 standards for the competence of the activities. (The ISO 17025 standard covers technical requirements for analytical laboratories. The ISO 15189 standard covers additional medical conditions in addition).

The laboratories accredited in accordance with these standards have a Quality Management System and have proven that they are capable of performing certain analyzes. The goal of the laboratories to be accredited is to prove that they are reliable, accurate and timely. This eliminates or minimizes the risk that people will suffer from medical errors.

According to the results of the study, the number of deaths due to medical errors is higher than deaths due to traffic accidents. The highest rate of medical errors are diagnostic errors. The errors due to the laboratory are included in this group. In order to reduce these diagnostic errors, quality management system and standards specific to this profession are required.

In terms of laboratories, quality is to give accurate, reliable and timely results within defined standards. What is important is to protect people from medical errors caused by incorrect test and analysis results and to contribute to the health of people.
