The international EN ISO 9000 family of standards specifies requirements for a process-based quality management system where an organization needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide product that meets customer and applicable regulatory requirements and where the organization aims to enhance customer satisfaction.

A key element is the continual improvement of the organization’s overall performance covering the important topics: management responsibility, resource management, product realization and process improvement. 

Most common is the certification against ISO 9001. Certified laboratories have a quality management system in place and operational which complies with the ISO standards. Certification against ISO 9001 does not of itself demonstrate the competence of the laboratory to produce technically valid data and results.

Accreditation as inspection organ (typ a) for the execution of hygienic inspection in enterprises which are actif in the fabrication and working of food materials and objects of current use, in the field of Swiss legal disposition according to ISO/IEC 17020. The delimitation of the validity is defined in the official list of accreditated centers of inspection.

This International Standard specifies the general requirements for the competence to carry out tests and/or calibrations, including sampling. An accreditation to ISO 17025 means, that the test- and/or calibration laboratories are technically competent and qualified to generate technically sound results and data.

Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is a quality assurance system which embodies a set of principles that provides a framework for preclinical studies to assess the hazards and risks to users, consumers and environment, including planning, performing, monitoring, reporting and archiving of the study results.

„GMP“ is that part of quality assurance which ensures that products are consistently produced and controlled to the quality standards appropriate to their intended use and as required by the marketing authorisation and products specifications. The term production has an extensive meaning, including procurement of raw materials, production of the active pharmaceutical ingredient and formulated products and medical devices, the packaging, quality control, release, storage and distribution.

The testing laboratories, usually involved only in certain parts of the production process, such as quality control, are authorized and accepted by the regulatory authority.
