24 Implementation of Traceability The implementation of quality assurance for clinical measurands requires the support of National Metrology Institutes Scientific Societies of Clinical Chemistry and Medicine Accreditation Bodies Suppliers of Certified Reference Materials Calibration Laboratories (also known as: Reference Measurement Laboratories) IVD Industry External Quality Assessment Organizers Legal Authorities Medical Laboratories themselves 24
25 Summary and Outlook About 40 reference systems are available to assign independent target values for interlaboratory comparisons. (most frequently analysed measurands) However, many measurands still have to be evaluated by method/kit dependent target values. Scientific work is necessary to develop reference systems for further measurands in laboratory medicine. The implementation of traceability in laboratory medicine and the improvement of comparability of EQA results depend on the contribution of many parties. 25
