[Histonet] Inspection of research labs / ISO 9000?

[mtitford <@t> aol.com]

Kimberly Tuttle in Baltimore asks about lab inspections.

I attended a workshop at the NSH S/C in Toronto where Diane Sterchi gave a really good workshop entitled, "Cracking the code: regulatory issues in the laboratory".? She spoke about the ISO 9000 certification requirements?that some research laboratories, I think drug company laboratories, must follow. Their requirements are really strict. Much more complicated than CAP.?If?Joe Nocito thinks he has problems now, he had better hope the CAP does not start ?following the ISO?guidelines!
