As assisted reproductive technology (ART) expanded globally, several countries introduced prescribed requirements for treatment and monitoring of outcomes, as well as a licensing or accreditation requirement. While it is common for ART laboratories to be required to have an effective quality control system, the remainder of the clinic is often under less stringent regulation. Furthermore, when treatment conditions are prescribed, the standards tend to be conservative and clinics may choose to establish their own standards. Total quality management systems are now being used by an increasing number of ART clinics. In Australia and New Zealand, it is now a requirement to have a quality management system in order to be accredited and to help meet customer demand for improved delivery of ART services in these two countries.
随着辅助生殖技术（ART）在全球范围内的扩展，一些国家对治疗和结果监测引入了规定要求，以及许可或认证要求。虽然ART实验室通常被要求拥有有效的质量控制体系，但诊所的其他部分往往受到较宽松的监管。此外，当规定治疗条件时，标准往往较为保守，诊所可能会选择制定自己的标准。越来越多的ART诊所正在采用全面质量管理体系。在澳大利亚和新西兰，现在要求拥有质量管理体系才能获得认证，并有助于满足这两个国家客户对改善ART服务提供的需求。
