30、ordISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technic
31、al committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of el
32、ectrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the
33、 member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for ident

35、cond and third editions of this International Standard is provided as Annex B. The third edition continues the alignment established in ISO/IEC 17025:2005.This corrected version of ISO 15189:2012 includes various editorial corrections.iv ISO 2012 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 15189:2012ISO 15189:2012
36、(E)IntroductionThis International Standard, based upon ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 9001, specifies requirements for competence and quality that are particular to medical laboratories1). It is acknowledged that a country could have its own specific regulations or requirements applicable to some or all its
37、professional personnel and their activities and responsibilities in this domain.Medical laboratory services are essential to patient care and therefore have to be available to meet the needs of all patients and the clinical personnel responsible for the care of those patients. Such services include
38、arrangements for examination requests, patient preparation, patient identification, collection of samples, transportation, storage, processing and examination of clinical samples, together with subsequent interpretation, reporting and advice, in addition to the considerations of safety and ethics in
39、 medical laboratory work.Whenever allowed by national, regional or local regulations and requirements, it is desirable that medical laboratory services include the examination of patients in consultation cases, and that those services actively participate in the prevention of disease in addition to
40、diagnosis and patient management. Each laboratory should also provide suitable educational and scientific opportunities for professional staff working with it.While this International Standard is intended for use throughout the currently recognized disciplines of medical laboratory services, those w
41、orking in other services and disciplines such as clinical physiology, medical imaging and medical physics could also find it useful and appropriate. In addition, bodies engaged in the recognition of the competence of medical laboratories will be able to use this International Standard as the basis f
42、or their activities. If a laboratory seeks accreditation, it should select an accrediting body which operates in accordance with ISO/IEC 17011 and which takes into account the particular requirements of medical laboratories.This International Standard is not intended to be used for the purposes of c
43、ertification, however a medical laboratorys fulfilment of the requirements of this International Standard means the laboratory meets both the technical competence requirements and the management system requirements that are necessary for it to consistently deliver technically valid results. The mana
44、gement system requirements in Clause 4 are written in a language relevant to a medical laboratorys operations and meet the principles of ISO 9001:2008, Quality management systems Requirements, and are aligned with its pertinent requirements (Joint IAF-ILAC-ISO Communiqu issued in 2009).The correlati
45、on between the clauses and subclauses of this third edition of ISO 15189 and those of ISO 9001:2008 and of ISO/IEC 17025:2005 is detailed in Annex A of this International Standard.Environmental issues associated with medical laboratory activity are generally addressed throughout this International S
46、tandard, with specific references in 5.2.2, 5.2.6, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5.1.4 and 5.7.1) In other languages, these laboratories can be designated by the equivalent of the English term “clinical laboratories.” ISO 2012 All rights reserved vBS EN ISO 15189:2012Medical laboratories Requirements for quality and
47、competence1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies requirements for quality and competence in medical laboratories.This International 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
48、 or recognizing the competence of medical laboratories by laboratory customers, regulating authorities and accreditation bodies.NOTE International, national or regional regulations or requirements may also apply to specific topics covered in this International Standard.2 Normative referencesThe foll
