Quality assurance of services provided by veterinary diagnostics laboratories is a fundamental element promoted by international animal health organizations to establish trust, confidence and transparency needed for the trade of animals and their products at domestic and international levels. It requires, among other things, trained personnel, consistent and rigorous methodology, choice of suitable methods as well as appropriate calibration and traceability procedures. An important part of laboratory quality management is addressed by ISO/IEC 17025, which aims to facilitate cooperation among laboratories and their associated parties by assuring the generation of credible and consistent information derived from analytical results. Currently, according to OIE recommendation, veterinary diagnostics laboratories are only subject to voluntary compliance with standard ISO/IEC 17025; however, it is proposed here that OIE reference laboratories and collaboration centres strongly consider its adoption.
兽医诊断实验室所提供服务的质量保证是国际动物卫生组织所倡导的一项基本要素，其目的是建立国内和国际层面动物及其产品贸易所需的信任、信心和透明度。这除其他外，还需要训练有素的人员、一致且严格的方法、合适方法的选择以及适当的校准和溯源程序。ISO/IEC 17025解决了实验室质量管理的一个重要部分，其目的是通过确保从分析结果中得出可靠且一致的信息，促进实验室及其相关方之间的合作。目前，根据世界动物卫生组织的建议，兽医诊断实验室仅需自愿遵守ISO/IEC 17025标准；然而，本文提议世界动物卫生组织参考实验室和协作中心应大力考虑采用该标准。
