EN/ISO15189:2007, Medical laboratories: particular requirements for quality and

competence. Published in 2003, the ISO 15189 quickly became a widely accepted

standard to be used for accreditation of clinical laboratory competence. The ISO15189

standard is divided in two parts, management requirements and technical requirements

related to activities carried out by clinical laboratories. Importantly, the last ISO15189,

2007 version establishes responsibility of the clinical laboratory for all preanalytical steps,

including ordering and sampling. However, detailed technical preanalytical requirements

are absent from normative documents.
