Acreditação e credenciamento de laboratórios de ensaio para diagnósticos de anemia infecciosa equina

Abstract

This work presents contribution to the accreditation and credentialing process to the testing laboratories on the Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA). Consists of a proposal of priority requirements to the accreditation, credentialing and biosecurity of testing laboratories developed in seven methodologicalsteps: 1) description of the elements that characterize a laboratory of EIA and employ the laboratory experience in study as a facilitator of the accreditation process; 2)bring up the actual situation of the existing EIA laboratories in Brazil given the current requirements for accreditation; 3) identify, reunite and systematize the knowledge related to the laboratorial quality system, according to the NBR ISO/IEC 17025 standard, accreditation by INMETRO; 4) describe the process of a quality manual build up, aiming the implementation of the standard NBR ISO/IEC 17025; 5) identify, reunite and systematize the knowledge related to the credentialing by the Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA); 6) elaborate a guiding checklist for the requirements conference of the standard NBR ISO/IEC 17025; 7) to characterize the requirements related to the biosecurity, as means to establish operating standards in EIA laboratories, including the management of residuesof health services (RHS). It is, therefore, a documental research and one case study. The results show: 1) that the process of credentialing and accreditation is complex and justify the actual situation of the Brazilian laboratories; in other words, of the 297 accredited laboratories, in the year 2014, only 6 were accredited; 2) the importance of the Quality Manual and the diversity of necessary documents to the conclusion of the process of accreditation; 3) to be generated one diversity of typology of waste (Group A, B, D e E, specially A), which demands the implementation of management form by means of waste management plan and the implementation of biohazard standard and good laboratory practice.
