The Japan Medical Association (JMA) has been providing the external quality survey program in clinical laboratory testing for the past 37 years, 2,812 labs participated in 2003, and it has improved overall interlaboratory variations, particularly in enzyme activity examinations. There are many other external quality survey programs provided independently by the other organizations, and the JMA Committee on Quality Control Survey in Clinical Laboratory Testing, in association with JCCLS and the other expert panels, had discussed on the possibility of implementing a new external quality assessment scheme, named NEQAS (National External Quality Assessment Scheme). The current problems on the external quality control survey are discussed.
在过去37年里，日本医学协会（JMA）一直在开展临床实验室检测外部质量调查项目，2003年有2812家实验室参与其中，该项目改善了实验室间的总体差异，尤其是在酶活性检测方面。还有许多其他由其他组织独立提供的外部质量调查项目，JMA临床实验室检测质量控制调查委员会与日本临床实验室标准化委员会（JCCLS）及其他专家小组共同讨论了实施一项名为国家外部质量评估计划（NEQAS）的新外部质量评估方案的可能性。文中讨论了当前外部质量控制调查存在的问题。
