Medical laboratories accredited to ISO 15189:2007 (a sector-specific technical competence and management system standard) are recognized as meeting the management system principles of ISO 9001:2008.
The move was announced in a joint communiqué by ISO (the International Organization for Standardization), ILAC (the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation) and the IAF (the International Accreditation Forum) in September 2009.
The ISO-IAF-ILAC communiqué was issued to address the misconception in the market that medical laboratories accredited to ISO 15189:2007 do not operate a recognized management system.
This document follows another ISO-IAF-ILAC communiqué that was issued to address the misconception in the market that laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 do not operate a recognized management system.
