Standards
This Standard specifies the general requirements for the competence, impartiality and consistent operation of laboratories. It is applicable to all organisations performing lab activities, regardless of the number of personnel. Customers, regulatory authorities, accreditation bodies and others use it to confirm or recognise the competence of labs.
ISO 9001 sets out the criteria for a quality management system. It is based on a number of quality management principles including strong customer focus, motivation of top management, the process approach and continual improvement.
ISO/IEC 17020:2012 specifies requirements for the competence of bodies performing inspection and for the impartiality and consistency of their inspection activities. It applies to inspection bodies of type A, B or C, as defined in ISO/IEC 17020:2012, and it applies to any stage of inspection.
This Standard can be used by medical laboratories in developing their quality management systems and assessing their own competence. It can also be used for confirming or recognising the competence of medical laboratories by laboratory customers, regulating authorities and accreditation bodies.
