FDA, Federal Partners Develop Tools for Food-emergency Readiness

July 27, 2011 By Steven Perez

The FDA and federal partners released the Food Related Emergency Exercise Boxed set, a web-based collection of scenarios that will help government regulators, public health organizations and the food industry test their readiness for food-related emergencies. FREE-B is a compilation of five scenarios designed to help test and develop food emergency response plans, protocols and procedures.

ISO/IEC 17025 is a company level accreditation based on a standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) titled “General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories”. ISO/IEC 17025 is a general umbrella term used to refer to the specific standard; the current version of this standard is ISO/IEC 17025:2017. The standard contains two main sections: management requirements (primarily related to the operation and effectiveness of the quality management system within the laboratory) and technical requirements (primarily related to the competence of staff and calibration of equipment). The standard also gives requirements related to quality management such as document control and corrective action. This standard is the basis for accreditation from an accrediting body.

ADPEN has also been inspected by the US-EPA multiple times with no observations.
