The worldwide network of World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)-accredited anti-doping laboratories plays a fundamental role in supporting the global fight against doping in sport. This role is dependent on the ability to provide accurate, reliable and comparable data in identifying and measuring the presence of prohibited substances and methods. The accredited laboratories participate in WADA's External Quality Assessment Scheme (EQAS) program, which provides the structure to continuously assess and improve laboratory performance in compliance to the requirements of the International Standard for Laboratories and related Technical Documents. The WADA EQAS is comprised of various programs, including a blind EQAS, a double-blind EQAS and an educational EQAS, each with specific goals with regard to monitoring and improving laboratory competence. In this article, the anti-doping rules and processes that govern granting and maintenance of WADA laboratory accreditation, aimed at ensuring a high-quality of laboratory operations within the framework of the global fight against doping in sport, are reviewed.
世界反兴奋剂机构（WADA）认可的反兴奋剂实验室全球网络在支持全球打击体育界兴奋剂问题的斗争中发挥着基础性作用。这一作用取决于在识别和检测禁用物质及方法时提供准确、可靠且可比数据的能力。获得认可的实验室参与WADA的外部质量评估计划（EQAS），该计划为持续评估和改进实验室绩效提供了架构，以使其符合《实验室国际标准》及相关技术文件的要求。WADA的EQAS由多个项目组成，包括盲样EQAS、双盲EQAS和教育EQAS，每个项目在监测和提高实验室能力方面都有特定目标。本文回顾了旨在确保在全球打击体育界兴奋剂框架内实现高质量实验室运作的WADA实验室认可授予和维持的反兴奋剂规则及流程。
