Project Summary The State of Alaska Environmental Health Lab (EHL) provides support to the regulatory oversight of manufactured food establishments, retail food establishments, public facilities, and shellfish shippers, producers, and processors throughout Alaska in its goal to protect public health and environment. In July 2008, Alaska enrolled in the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS), recognized critical elements in creating a national, fully integrated food safety system that are intended to enhance food safety by establishing a uniform basis for measuring and improving the performance of manufactured food regulatory programs in the United States. Part of this movement was to standardize the quality systems criteria to ISO 17025 for food testing so that is meaningful during surveillance for disease prevention as well as timely utilization across-jurisdictions in an foodborne outbreak. Conformance with these standards assists both federal and state programs in better directing their regulatory activities at reducing foodborne illness hazards in manufactured food plants. Additionally, by conforming to the standards, the state offers FDA the foundation for pursuing regulatory action based on findings of state-conducted inspections, tests and other regulatory activities. Consequently, the safety and security of the United States food supply will improve. Alaska has assessed its program and has developed a comprehensive strategic plan to continuously improve program areas that do not meet a particular standard with the intention of achieving full ISO 17025 certification by year five of this proposed cooperative agreement. Under this proposed cooperative agreement, Alaska's objectives are to develop, implement, and maintain program policies and procedures, provide training so that all staff is aware of the policies and procedures, and verify that the policies and procedures are being followed by using proficiency tests, internal audits and external audits as a measure. The purpose of this project is to improve service to FDA and to our food analysis clients, and to become better stewards of State resources through ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accreditation.

项目摘要 阿拉斯加州环境健康实验室（EHL）为监管机构提供支持。 监督生产食品企业、零售食品企业、公共设施，以及 贝类托运人，生产商和加工商在阿拉斯加，其目标是保护公众 健康和环境。2008年7月，阿拉斯加州加入了制成品监管机构， 计划标准（MFRPS），公认的关键要素，在创建一个国家，充分 综合食品安全体系，旨在通过建立一个 衡量和改进制成品监管绩效的统一基础 美国的项目。这一运动的一部分是标准化的质量体系 ISO 17025食品检测标准，以便在疾病监测期间有意义 预防以及及时利用跨司法管辖区的食源性疫情。 遵守这些标准有助于联邦和州的项目更好地指导 他们的监管活动，以减少食品加工厂的食源性疾病危害。 此外，通过遵守标准，国家为FDA提供了追求 根据国家进行的检查、测试和其他监管行动的结果， 活动因此，美国食品供应的安全和保障将得到改善。 阿拉斯加已经评估了其计划，并制定了一项全面的战略计划， 持续改进不符合特定标准的计划领域， 在本拟议合作协议的第五年实现全面的ISO 17025认证。 根据这项拟议的合作协议，阿拉斯加的目标是制定，实施， 维护计划政策和程序，提供培训，使所有工作人员都意识到 政策和程序，并验证政策和程序是否得到遵守， 能力测试、内部审计和外部审计作为一项措施。本项目的目的是 改善对FDA和我们的食品分析客户的服务，并成为更好的管理者， 通过ISO/IEC 17025：2005认证的国家资源。
