Maintenance and Enhancement of ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation and Whole Genome Sequencing for State and Food Testing Laboratories

SC DHEC PHL-ISO摘要 南卡罗来纳州卫生与环境控制部(SC DHEC)公共卫生 实验室(PHL)是国家制造食品监管的主要服务实验室 南加州DHEC和南加州农业部内的计划。这笔赠款的目的是为了 维持和加强国际标准化组织/国际电工委员会17025认证和国家全基因组测序 食品检测实验室。食品微生物实验室通过国际标准化组织/国际电工委员会17025：2005认证 已于2016年3月通过国际标准化组织/国际电工委员会17025：2005年认证。将通过国际标准化组织/国际电工委员会17025认证 按照ISO标准和我们认证机构的任何额外要求进行维护。这个 食品实验室目前正在向新的国际标准化组织/国际电工委员会17025：2017年标准过渡，并将接受检查 这一新标准将于2020年更新。范围的增强将通过验证新的 设备，TEMPO，以及增加病原微生物回收的新方法，GeneUP。在……里面 与粮食和铅风险评估司和南加州农业部合作 制造食品零售计划标准(MFRPS)计划，每年至少75个样品 将会受到考验。食品实验室将全力支持食品应急网络(FERN)， 参与能力测试计划，培训员工使用ISO认可的方法和质量流程， 并通过eLEXNET继续进行电子数据交换。

SC DHEC PHL-ISO Abstract The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC) Public Health Laboratory (PHL) serves as the primary servicing laboratory for the state manufactured food regulatory programs within the SC DHEC and the SC Department of Agriculture. The purpose of this grant is for the maintenance and enhancement of ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and whole genome sequencing for State food testing laboratories. The Food Microbiology Laboratory achieved ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accreditation in March of 2016 and has remained ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited. Accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 will be maintained by following ISO standards and any additional requirements of our accrediting body. The Food Laboratory is currently transitioning to the new ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard and will be inspected to this new standard upon renewal in 2020. Scope enhancement will be through the validation of new equipment, Tempo, and adding new methods for recovery of pathogenic microorganisms, GeneUP. In collaboration with the Division of Food and Lead Risk Assessment and the SC Department of Agriculture Manufactured Food Retail Program Standards (MFRPS) programs, a minimum of 75 samples per year will be tested. The Food Laboratory will fully support the Food Emergency Response Network (FERN), participate in proficiency testing programs, train staff in ISO accredited methods and quality processes, and continue electronic data exchange through eLEXNET.
