Requirements to reference laboratories in veterinary medicine specified
The Eurasian Economic Commission's Council decided to amend the Rules for organizing laboratory tests (research) in implementing veterinary control (supervision) and supplement them with uniform requirements to reference laboratories (centers) in this field.
The requirements will allow the Eurasian Economic Union countries to apply uniform approaches to assessing laboratories' functional abilities, and selecting centers from among them to provide reference functions. This will help increase the integrity of ongoing research, as well as mitigate the risks of introducing unreasonable prohibitions and restrictions by the parties' authorized bodies in mutual and international trade.
Furthermore, these amendments contemplate updating the conceptual framework of the document and harmonizing the forms of sampling (sample) certificates.
The updated Rules shall come into effect after 30 calendar days have elapsed from the date of its official publication.
