Section 2 Strengthening the Testing Capability of National and Local

Laboratories

Current Status

To develop rapid and accurate testing methods to clearify the contingencies, propose response

strategies, to eliminate public concerns through the press and media. Continue to enhance

instrument and equipment testing techniques and standards. Strengthen laboratory quality assurance

and actively seek accreditation and international recognition. Additionally, the testing capacities of

the local health bureaus have been improved. In 2010, every health agency throughout the country

has been included in the

Regional Joint Specialized Testing System of Health Bureaus

to implement

specialization. TFDA also continued to subsidy precision instruments in order to strengthen testing

resources, techniques and capacities of the health bureaus.

Policies and Outcomes

1. Advancement of the Testing Capability of the National Laboratory

(1) Forensic Science Testing Certified to ISO/IEC 17025 and Aligned with Global Standards

a. The controlled drugs laboratory of the TFDA has been accredited the ISO/IEC 17025 forensic

science testing certification, demonstrating that testing standards and techniques are compliant

to international specifications and standards, which assists to improve the credibility of testing

results from the laboratory.

b. To attain higher quality, the certification award ceremony was held at TFDA (Figure 8-1). The

Director of the Board of the Taiwan Accreditation Foundation (TAF) attended the ceremony

to award the certificate personally. Other distinguished guests were invited to attend it, which

included representatives from the Chemical Forensics Division of the Ministry of Justice

Investigation Bureau (MJIB), the National Police Agency of the Ministry of Justice, and the Criminal

Examinations Center of the Military Police Command and so on.
