Abstract
|
|
|
|
The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) is responsible for conducting and analyzing rapid and accurate diagnostic tests, and monitoring of pathogens that cause infectious diseases. We are developing a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) that documents the specifications of the laboratory testing environment, and that outlines a certification system for preparing standard test methods. Based on scientific evidence, the SOP describes the background of test selection, sample types, procedures, and results interpretation. An objectively valid and reliable standard inspection method is being prepared through a certification examination committee composed of internal and external experts. The KDCA will continue to revise and update existing certified standard procedures. In addition, we will act preemptively to prepare for and respond to national crises caused by emerging infectious diseases in the future.
