They involve proper procedures, trained staff, calibrated equipment, and regular checks to maintain high testing standards. These standards help labs produce trustworthy results, which are essential for correct diagnoses, treatment decisions, and research. Adhering to quality standards also ensures safety and compliance with regulations, fostering confidence among healthcare providers and patients that the laboratory's work is credible and precise.
