Abstract External quality assessment (EQA) enhances patient safety through the evaluation of laboratory-based and point care testing. Regulatory agencies accreditation organizations utilize results laboratory’s response to them as part assessing fitness practice. In addition, where EQA samples are commutable assigned value has been determined using reference measurement procedures (RMPs), data contributes verification metrological traceability assays post-market surveillance in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical devices (IVD-MDs). More broadly, scientific communities use demonstrate that laboratory examination fit for clinical purposes, evaluate common intervals, inclusion databases. Scientific groups, IVD industry, laboratories National Metrology Institutes can work with providers identify measurands, which should urgently be supported by development materials or methods. The ability health systems respond effectively fast-evolving challenges, such Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic, is reliant on confidence performance new methods testing services. uniquely positioned assess IVD-MDs addition individual sites. Although primary focus remains improvement laboratories, there many stakeholders who benefit from data.
