Title: ●Approval of Laboratories to Conduct Official Testing; Consolidation of Provisions | |
Abstract:
APHIS is proposing to consolidate the regulations governing diagnostic laboratory approval authorities into a single regulation and establish a set of standard procedures by which APHIS would conduct all future diagnostic laboratory approvals. The consolidated regulations would provide consistent inspection protocols, proficiency testing methods, quality system guidelines, and definitions. This would also facilitate the approval of additional laboratories in emergency situations. The consolidated regulations would serve to simplify regulatory oversight and compliance. |
