Standard Operating Procedures
Documents
Several National Reference Laboratories and Pathology Laboratories are currently building or developing their Quality Management System based on ISO 17025 Standard ( General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories). Some of them are seeking for accreditation by their respective accreditation bodies. Some of these laboratories, and more particularly those in the last countries joining the European Union, are asking for standardised procedures.
Several pathologists having already some experience in the field of Quality Management are presently joining their efforts to produce Standard Operating Procedures. These SOPs can be used as templates by European laboratories and can help them when writing down their own documentation for Quality Management. These documents are available below in PDF files.

Quality management and Accreditation
Diagnosis of mollusc diseases by histology or by using molecular biology tools (PCR, HIS) is performed under a quality assurance system since 2003. The EURL for mollusc diseases is accredited by the Cofrac (Comité français d'accréditation) for the diagnosis by histo-cytopathology of Bonamia sp., Marteilia sp., Perkinsus sp. and Mikrocytos sp. in molluscs (bivalves and gastropods) since October 2009.
Accreditation n° 1-2160,
