ISO/IEC 17025 Accredition Maintenance and Enhancement for State Food Testing Laboratories

项目摘要/摘要 加工食品监管程序标准(MFRPS)建立了统一的 负责监管制造业的国家项目管理基金会 食品设施，包括化学和微生物污染物的实验室分析。 根据佐治亚州农业部(GDA)2011年改进计划报告， 需求得到了确定，FDA授予了一份合作协议。这份协议 (实验室支持改进计划)是提供监管机构的主要 服务实验室为采用和实施国际标准提供必要的资源。 此外，将按照这些标准对实验室进行评估或审计(国际标准化组织/国际电工委员会17025-2005年) 第三方认证机构的要求。GDA实验室最近取得的成就 协助其监管机构满足合同要求的认证 代表FDA工作。 为了让GDA实验室保持他们的认证，我们正在申请资金 以题为《国际标准化组织/国际电工委员会17025认证和维护》的合作协议的形式 加强国家食品检测实验室(竞赛A)，以抵消增加的费用 所需的质量保证活动以及关键分析的持续维护 设备。为了让国家合作伙伴承担全球食品安全倡议的额外责任， 将需要进一步加强和丰富主要维修实验室的分析 实现这些目标的能力。在一定程度上，为了实现这些目标，实验室将依靠 与我们的监管机构建立了关系，并同意收集和分析 MFRPS下的样品。GDA已经开发并展示了成功 与其监管合作伙伴的关系以及实现这一目标的能力。此外，签署了 已经达成协议，收集至少100个额外的MFRPS样本和 对污染物进行分析。这些结果将在国家数据库存储库中提交 违规的掺假行为将受到适当的监管行动。这个合作社 协议将允许GDA实验室保持目前对ISO标准的认证，如 以及继续收集和分析样本的能力，以支持一个综合的国家 食品安全体系。

Project Summary / Abstract The Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS) established a uniform foundation for management of state programs responsible for the regulation of manufactured food facilities, including laboratory analysis for chemical and microbiological contaminants. Based on the Georgia Department of Agriculture’s (GDA) 2011 Improvement Plan Report, needs were determined and a cooperative agreement was awarded by FDA. This agreement (Laboratory Support Improvement Plan) was to provide the regulatory agency’s primary servicing lab the necessary resources to adopt and implement international standards. Furthermore, the labs would be assessed or audited to these standard (ISO/IEC 17025:2005) requirements by a third-party accrediting body. GDA laboratories recently achieved accreditation which assists their regulatory agencies in compliance requirements for contractual work on behalf of FDA. In order for GDA laboratories to maintain their accreditation, we are requesting funding in the form of a cooperative agreement entitled, ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation Maintenance and Enhancement for State Food Testing Laboratories (Competition A), to offset the added expense of required Quality Assurance activities as well as the ongoing upkeep of critical analytical equipment. For state partners to assume added responsibility for Global Food Safety initiatives, further enhancement and enrichment will be necessary for the primary servicing labs’ analytical capability to meet these goals. In part to achieve these goals the laboratory will rely upon the established relationships with our regulatory agency and their agreement to collect and analyze samples under MFRPS. GDA has already developed and demonstrated successful relationships with their regulatory partners and ability to fulfill this objective. In addition, signed agreements have been forged to collect a minimum of 100 additional MFRPS samples and analyzed for contaminants. These results will be submitted in a national database repository and violative adulterations will be subject to appropriate regulatory action. This cooperative agreement will allow GDA laboratories to maintain the current accreditation to ISO standards, as well as the ability to continue collecting and analyzing samples to support an integrated national food safety system.
