    General requirements for the competence oftesting and calibration laboratories. Thisworking group included provision of advice tousers of the laboratory service, the collection of

    patient samples, the interpretation of testresults, acceptable turnaround times, how

    testing is to be provided in a medicalemergency and the lab's role in the education

    and training of health care Laboratory staff.

    While the standard is based on ISO/IEC 17025

    the importance of the medical laboratory topatient care.
