Project Need
To align Canadian requirements with those of international standards (adoption of new standards). The proposed New Standards are being developed at the request of Medical Laboratory Quality Systems
Technical Committee(Z252) under the jurisdiction of the Strategic Steering Committee on Health and Wellbeing. It will provide industry with consistent requirements for the entire molecular in vitro diagnostics workflow (specimen collection to RNA examination).
