Massachusetts Maintenance and Enhancement of ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation

摘要 马萨诸塞州食品和药物管理局设有环境微生物实验室。 微生物部，以及环境化学实验室组 分析化学部。这些实验室是唯一负责 受《加工食品监管计划》监管的加工食品 (MFRP)，也用于检测与食源性疫情有关的食品。 MA SPHL致力于从测试中产生最高质量的结果 在实验室中执行，因此致力于保持质量管理 这一系统确保了。通过保持对国际标准化组织17025标准的认证，两者 实验室管理层和FDA可以保证结果的质量 在实验室里产生的。 在接下来的两年里，MA SPHL将完成所有必要的例行监测 制造的食品样本，并将所有结果报告给eLEXNET。实验室将完成 年度能力测试、所有SOP审查、内部审计和外部评估 由标准中描述的认证机构提供。 马思达将采取持续质量改进的方式进行ISO认证。 所附的认证范围包括十种方法。在接下来的两年里 几年来，在马萨诸塞州国土安全部MFRP官员的合作下 公共卫生(MDPH)环境卫生(BEH)食品保护局 计划(FPP)，MA SPHL将评估其他方法以纳入范围，如果 未来有必要进行这种测试。

Abstract The MA SPHL houses an Environmental Microbiology Laboratory Section within the Microbiology Division, and also an Environmental Chemistry Laboratory Section within the Analytical Chemistry Division. These labs are the sole laboratories responsible for surveillance of manufactured foods under the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program (MFRP), and also for testing of foods when implicated in foodborne outbreaks. The MA SPHL is committed to producing the highest quality results from the testing performed at the lab, and therefore are committed to maintaining a quality management system that assures that. By maintaining accreditation to the ISO 17025 standard, both laboratory management and the FDA can be assured of the quality of the results generated here at the lab. Over the next two years, the MA SPHL will complete all required routine surveillance of manufactured food samples, and report all results to eLEXNET. The lab will complete annual proficiency tests, all review of SOPs, internal audits and external assessments by the accreditation body as described in the standard. MA SPHL will take a continuous quality improvement approach to ISO accreditation. The enclosed scope of accreditation covers ten methods. Throughout the next two years, and with collaboration from the MFRP officials in the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) Bureau of Environmental Health (BEH) Food Protection Program (FPP), MA SPHL will evaluate additional methods for inclusion to the scope if there is a need for this testing in the future.
