Intervention / Comparator

Quality assurance programmes based on EN 45000 and OIE guidelines

This review proposes that EN 45001 standards and OIE guidelines should be the basis for implementing quality assurance programs in foot and mouth disease laboratories to facilitate international trade.

Limitations

A regulatory system in which there are no consequences for non-compliance is likely to fail and would remove any incentive or need to participate.
The system will not provide a 100% assurance that everything is satisfactory between two proficiency testing or quality controls.
There will still be a risk of disease in international trade as falsification of certificates and the substitution of animals could occur before or during transport.
