When a laboratory is accredited, it indicates that a structural mechanism
is in place, which allows high-quality lab work to proceed, and that the
workplace is safe for staff. To pass an accreditation inspection, all
aspects of lab activity are scrutinized. The way in which tests are performed,
staff qualifications and experience, methodology, reporting practice,
record-keeping, and quality-control programmes (both internal and external,
staff training, continuing medical education, and safety) are considered.
The Hong Kong College
of Pathologists will work with the Hong
Kong Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (HOKLAS) for the development
of laboratory accreditation schemes. For more information about the list of laboratories accredited for performing
cytopathology test under HOKLAS, please refer to the following link:

Kong Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (HOKLAS) and view the list under
