ISO
This lesson explains how the ISO 15189:2003 standard can be used as the basis for accreditation of quality and competence in Clinical Laboratories and its synergistic relationship with ISO 9001:2000 certification.
This second lesson on ISO accreditation and standards discusses the larger ISO 9001:2000 standard and the idea of Quality Management Systems.
