ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

Introduction
Traditional examinations of a patient’s body fluids, excreta and tissues are carried out generally in the
controlled and regulated environment of a recognized medical laboratory. The introduction of quality
management systems and accreditation of these laboratories are gaining increasing interest.
Advances in technology have resulted in compact, easy-to-use in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical devices
that make it possible to carry out some examinations at, or close to, the location of the patient. Point-
of-care/near-patient testing may benefit the patient as well as healthcare facilities.
Risk to the patient and to the facility can be managed by a well-designed, fully implemented quality
management system that facilitates
— evaluation of new or alternative POCT instruments and systems,
— evaluation and approval of end-user proposals and protocols,
— purchase, installation and maintenance of equipment,
— maintenance of consumable supplies and reagents,
— training, certification and recertification of POCT system operators, and
— quality control and quality assurance.
Bodies that recognize the competence of POCT facilities may use this document as the basis for their
activities. If a healthcare facility seeks accreditation for a part or all of its activities, it should select an
accreditation body that operates in a manner which takes into account the special requirements of POCT.

controlled and regulated environment of a recognized medical laboratory. The introduction of quality
management systems and accreditation of these laboratories are gaining increasing interest.
Advances in technology have resulted in compact, easy-to-use in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical devices
that make it possible to carry out some examinations at, or close to, the location of the patient. Point-
of-care/near-patient testing may benefit the patient as well as healthcare facilities.
Risk to the patient and to the facility can be managed by a well-designed, fully implemented quality
management system that facilitates
— evaluation of new or alternative POCT instruments and systems,
— evaluation and approval of end-user proposals and protocols,
— purchase and installation of equipment,
— maintenance of consumable supplies and reagents,
— training, certification and recertification of POCT system operators, and
— quality control and quality assurance.
Bodies that recognize the competence of POCT facilities may use this document as the basis for their
activities. If a healthcare facility seeks accreditation for a part or all of its activities, it should select an
accreditation body that operates in a manner which takes into account the special requirements of POCT.
