What is ISO 15189 Standard?

• The internationally recognized ISO 15189
  certification standard specifies the requirements
  for quality and competence particular to medical
  laboratories. 
• The standard is used for confirming or
  recognizing the competence of medical
  laboratories by laboratory customers, regulating
  authorities and accreditation bodies.
• ISO 15189, when carefully planned to meet
  laboratory requirements, can also improve
  laboratory services, products and business
  processes.
• ISO 151892012 can be used by medical
  laboratories in developing their quality
  management systems and assessing their own
  competence. It can also be used for confirming or
  recognizing the competence of medical
  laboratories by laboratory customers, regulating
