Abstract
|
|
|
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is Korea's representative organization in the field of infectious disease
laboratory testing and analysis. In order to standardize and verify infectious disease laboratory tests, we have been
operating the accreditation system for laboratory test methods since 2009. In 2017, we revised the accreditation system
and introduced accreditation requirements that meet international standards. The accreditation of the standard procedure
consists of two stages : peer review and accreditation committee evaluation. It assesses the scientific validity of the test
method and the suitability of the test strategy to identify infectious diseases. By 2019, we will complete the accreditation
of all laboratory test methods that are being conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and continue to
certify test methods for emerging infectious diseases such as Crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever. The standard operating
procedures to diagnose infectious disease will be continuously updated, and accredited test methods will be distributed to
the National Institutes of Health and Environment. It aims to improve laboratory test quality across the national laboratory
system.
