Overview

ISO 15189:2022 specifies the requirements for quality and competence particular to medical laboratories: the examination of materials derived from the human body for diagnosis, patient management, and the prevention and treatment of disease. It applies to hospital, clinical and point-of-care settings alike, and follows the testing process through its pre-examination, examination and post-examination phases. Management-system requirements comparable in intent to ISO 9001 sit alongside technical competence requirements in the spirit of ISO/IEC 17025 but written for the clinical setting, where impartiality, patient rights and the confidentiality of patient information are first-order obligations.

The documentation follows the same pathway. Procedures cover sample collection, transport and receipt; method selection, verification and validation; measurement uncertainty and biological reference intervals; internal quality control and external quality assessment; equipment, calibration and metrological traceability; referral laboratories; and point-of-care testing carried out away from the main bench. Guidance explains Westgard rules, laboratory risk management and what changed on the move from ISO 15189:2012. An internal audit checklist and an accreditation readiness gap analysis rehearse the assessment an accreditation body operating under ISO/IEC 17011, typically within the ILAC arrangement, will carry out.

What this system covers

  • Pre-examination — service agreements, review of requests, collection, transport, receipt and sample acceptance
  • Examination — method selection, verification and validation, measurement uncertainty, biological reference intervals
  • Validity of results — internal quality control, Westgard rules, external quality assessment, interlaboratory comparison
  • Post-examination — result review, authorised release, reporting and record retention
  • Equipment, reagents and consumables — calibration, metrological traceability and environmental monitoring
  • Point-of-care testing — site assessment, operator authorisation and supervision outside the laboratory
  • Personnel competence — training, authorisation and reassessment of examination staff
  • Impartiality, patient rights, confidentiality, risk management, nonconforming work and complaints

Who it's for

Hospital quality directors, laboratory managers and quality officers, usually working to a fixed date: a first accreditation assessment, a surveillance visit, or the transition of an existing system from the 2012 edition. The result is a laboratory whose controls are written down, whose competence and quality-control records are retrievable, and whose staff can show an assessor how a released result was produced.
