This article describes a new set of revised standards for the medical laboratory, which have been produced by Clinical Pathology Accreditation (UK) Ltd (CPA). The original standards have been in use since 1992 and it was recognised that extensive revision was required. A standards revision group was established by CPA and this group used several international standards as source references, so that the resulting new standards are compatible with the most recent international reference sources. The aim is to make the assessment of medical laboratories as objective as possible in the future. CPA plans to introduce these standards in the UK in 2003 following extensive consultation with professional bodies, piloting in selected laboratories, and training of assessors.
本文介绍了一套由英国临床病理认证有限公司（CPA）制定的医学实验室修订新标准。原始标准自1992年起使用，人们认识到需要进行广泛修订。CPA成立了一个标准修订小组，该小组以多项国际标准作为参考来源，以使最终的新标准与最新的国际参考资料保持一致。目的是在未来使医学实验室评估尽可能客观。CPA计划在与专业机构进行广泛磋商、在选定实验室进行试点以及对评估人员进行培训之后，于2003年在英国引入这些标准。
