SC-DHEC PHL-ISO总结 南卡罗来纳州卫生和环境控制部（SC-DHEC），公共卫生 实验室（PHL），作为国家公共卫生实验室，致力于改善 通过保护和促进公众健康，提高南卡罗来纳州人的生活质量， 环境PHL食品微生物学实验室一直保持着检测 食源性病原体和食品质量指示生物40多年来和2016年 获得ISO/IEC 17025认证，并自那时起一直保持认证。在此 根据合作协议，食品微生物实验室将维护ISO/IEC 17025 通过保持符合我们认证机构规定的要求进行认证， 通过维护质量管理体系，解决并符合以下所有要素： ISO/IEC 17025标准通过执行内部审核、管理评审、熟练程度 测试和质量体系改进。通过与国家的合作， 食品零售计划标准（MFRPS）计划和国家动物食品零售产品 计划标准（AFRPS）计划，食品微生物实验室将参与 加强监察，共分析500个人类食物及动物样本 品.将通过收集粮食来加强粮食防御反应的准备 50个样本进行炭疽杆菌和鼠疫耶尔森氏菌的分析。整体性能 对400个分离株的基因组测序将有助于增加对 微生物生态学和多样性。分享这些通过日常监视产生的数据 这些活动将允许食品和药物管理局访问我们的数据以进行执法 活动这些数据将在ISO/IEC 17025认证的实验室中生成， 将简化分析审查，使FDA能够快速响应和执行监管 合规这些项目将作为基础，以加强和改善FDA的 努力预防食源性疾病，尽量减少接触，以建立一个国家 综合实验室科学系统，并为伙伴实验室配备额外资源 以增加州内的样本吞吐量。

SC-DHEC PHL-ISO Summary The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC-DHEC), Public Health Laboratory (PHL), serves as the state public health laboratory working towards improving the quality of life for South Carolinians by protecting and promoting the health of the public and environment. The PHL Food Microbiology Laboratory has maintained the ability to test for foodborne pathogens and food quality indicator organisms for over 40 years and in 2016 achieved ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and has remained accredited since that time. During this cooperative agreement, the Food Microbiology Laboratory will maintain ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation by remaining compliant with requirements set forth by our accrediting body and by maintaining a quality management system that addresses and conforms to all elements of ISO/IEC 17025 standards by performing internal audits, management reviews, proficiency testing, and quality system improvements. Through a partnership with the state Manufactured Food Retail Program Standards (MFRPS) programs, and the state Animal Food Retail Product Program Standards (AFRPS) program the Food Microbiology Laboratory will participate in the enhanced surveillance with a total of 500 samples being analyzed for human food and animal food products. Preparedness for food defense response will be enhanced through the collection of 50 samples for analysis for Bacillus anthracis and Yersinia pestis. The performance of whole genome sequencing on 400 isolates will contribute to growing knowledge and understanding of microbial ecology and diversity. The sharing of this data generated through routine surveillance activities will allow the Food and Drug Administration access to our data for enforcement activities. The fact that this data will be generated in an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory will streamline analytical review and allow the FDA to rapidly respond and enforce regulatory compliance. These projects will serve as a foundation to strengthen and improve the FDA’s efforts to prevent foodborne illness and minimize exposures in order to build upon a nationally integrated laboratory science system and equips partner laboratories with additional resources to increase sample throughput capacity within the state.
