We describe an External Quality Assessment Scheme (EQAS) intended for reference (calibration) laboratories in laboratory medicine and supervised by the Scientific Division of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine and the responsible Committee on Traceability in Laboratory Medicine. The official EQAS website, RELA (www.dgkl-rfb.de:81), is open to interested parties. Information on all requirements for participation and results of surveys are published annually. As an additional feature, the identity of every participant in relation to the respective results is disclosed. The results of various groups of measurands (metabolites and substrates, enzymes, electrolytes, glycated hemoglobins, proteins, hormones, thyroid hormones, therapeutic drugs) are discussed in detail. The RELA system supports reference measurement laboratories preparing for accreditation according to ISO 17025 and ISO 15195. Participation in a scheme such as RELA is one of the requirements for listing of the services of a calibration laboratory by the Joint Committee on Traceability in Laboratory Medicine.
我们描述了一个旨在为医学检验参考（校准）实验室提供服务的外部质量评估方案（EQAS），由国际临床化学和检验医学联合会科学分部以及实验室医学溯源责任委员会监管。官方的 EQAS 网站 RELA（www.dgkl-rfb.de:81）对感兴趣的各方开放。有关参与的所有要求以及调查结果的信息每年都会公布。作为一个额外的功能，每个参与者与各自结果的身份都被公开。详细讨论了各种测量指标（代谢物和底物、酶、电解质、糖化血红蛋白、蛋白质、激素、甲状腺激素、治疗药物）组的结果。RELA 系统支持根据 ISO 17025 和 ISO 15195 准备认证的参考测量实验室。参与 RELA 等计划是实验室医学溯源联合委员会将校准实验室的服务列入清单的要求之一。
