About

The advISO project has developed a modular framework to guide laboratories in achieving international bioinformatics accreditations.

advISO provides practical tools and training resources to support medical laboratories, especially in low- and middle-income countries, to achieve ISO 15189 and ISO 17025 accreditation.

The freely available and accessible modular framework resources can be used independently or as part of a lab’s ISO accreditation journey.
