Life Sciences ISO15189

Inline Block Example
ISO15189 is a international standards that sets out the requirements for the quality and competence of clinical laboratories. The first edition was established in 2003 and revised to the third edition in 2012. ISO 15189 (2012) is configuration in chapters 1~5 and two annexes and contains all the requirements for a clinical laboratory to certify that it operates a management system, is technically competent and capable of producing technically reasonable results.

Since ISO 15189 is international standards, test result reports can be accepted worldwide through international mutual recognition, and in the 2016 revision of medical fees, a new addition of 40 points was added as an "international standard laboratory management surcharge," which is a great advantage. In Japan, the "Japan Accreditation Association" is the only clinical laboratory accreditation body.

ISO 15189 accreditation for a laboratory can help standardize operations, elevate technicians, prove technical competence, and improve the reliability of results. In addition, with the enforcement of some of the provisions of the Act to Partially Amend the Medical Care Act, etc. (Act No. 57 of 29) on December 1, 2018, the Ministerial Ordinance on the Preparation of Ministerial Ordinances Related to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Ordinance No. 93 of 2018) will also come into effect on December 1, 2018. The notice titled "Enforcement of the Ministerial Ordinance Concerning the Preparation of Ministerial Ordinances Related to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in Conjunction with the Enforcement of Part of the Act to Partially Amend the Medical Care Act, etc. (Medical Policy No. 0810 No. 1)" clearly states that it is desirable to strive to establish the system necessary for third-party accreditation of testing facilities such as ISO 15189 in order to ensure the accuracy of gene-related tests and chromosome tests.

ISO15189 (2012) requires appropriate recording and management by controlling the temperature of refrigerators and freezers for storing specimens. In addition, temperature-control devices (e.g., incubators, refrigerators, freezers, etc.) must be monitored to ensure stability and uniformity of temperature. For temperature control, measuring instruments are also required to be quality controlled, and regular calibration and inspection are required.
