What Is ISO 15189?

ISO 15189:2022 is the international standard for medical laboratories — specifying requirements for quality and competence. It defines what a medical laboratory must do to consistently deliver examinations that are reliable, traceable, and clinically useful, covering everything from impartiality and confidentiality to specimen collection, examination processes, result reporting, equipment management, personnel competence, and continual improvement.

The 2022 revision is the current version, replacing ISO 15189:2012, and now incorporates the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 for management and technical competence — removing the need for separate accreditation against both standards. ISO 15189 is the recognised global benchmark for medical laboratory accreditation and is used by accreditation bodies worldwide, including ANAB (US), UKAS (UK), NABL (India), DAC (UAE), ENAC (Spain), and all other ILAC-signatory accreditation bodies.

•       Will these documents help us achieve ISO 15189 accreditation? Yes. Every document is structured to meet the clause requirements of ISO 15189:2022 and is designed to hold up under third-party accreditation assessment by bodies such as ANAB, UKAS, NABL, DAC, ENAC, and other ILAC signatories. Our customers consistently report fewer non-conformities and a smoother assessment experience.

•       Is this toolkit suitable for hospital labs, private pathology labs, and point-of-care testing? Yes. ISO 15189:2022 applies to all medical laboratories — hospital-based, independent pathology, reference, public health, blood transfusion, and point-of-care testing (POCT) facilities. The toolkit is built to be customised to your specific scope, disciplines, and operating model.

Our ISO 15189 toolkit reflects the 2022 revision (the current version, replacing ISO 15189:2012), which integrates the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 and removes the need for the previously separate ISO 15189 Part 1 / Part 2 structure. We monitor changes to international standards and update our toolkits accordingly.
