A Personal Milestone: From Learner to ISO 15189 Clinical Laboratory Assessor
What Is ISO 15189:2022 and Why Does It Matter?
I can understand ISO 15189:2022 as built around two key pillars that shape laboratory excellence:
1. Quality Management
Ensuring processes are documented, consistent, and capable of delivering accurate and reliable results.
2. Technical Competence
Ensuring staff, equipment, and methodologies meet the highest scientific and operational standards.
When a laboratory achieves ISO 15189 accreditation, it shows that it:
- Follows internationally recognized best practices
- Produces accurate, traceable, and reliable results
- Maintains strong internal and external quality control
- Implements risk-based approaches to prevent errors
- Prioritizes ethical practice and patient safety
- Continuously evaluates and improves its performance
To hospitals, clinicians, and patients, ISO 15189 is more than a certificate—it’s a guarantee of trust in both quality and competence.
