Laboratories are responsible for delivering an average of 300,000 tests every working day in support of the nation’s health services. From blood tests to biopsies covering diagnosis or the ability to monitor treatment progress, medical labs provide the vital test results that inform treatment decisions and health outcomes. ISO 15189 accreditation underpins confidence in the quality of medical laboratories through a process that verifies their integrity, impartiality and competence. The ISO 15189 standard is an international quality standard for medical and clinical laboratories. Since 2007 and until its latest version update in 2022, this standard sets the requirements for quality management, technical processes, and competence in medical laboratories. Therefore, the ISO15189:2022 standard promotes confidence and high quality in medical laboratories' analysis and results generation. Quality control and assurance in a laboratory are essential and strictly regulated in many industries, such as food and health. Quality in laboratories generally refers to the accuracy and reliability of analysis and results. In addition, laboratories that have international standards gain more credibility and international recognition.
