| Title | Medical laboratories - Concepts and specifications for the design, development, implementation, and use of laboratory-developed tests (ISO/DIS 5649:2023) |
| Work Item Number | 00140161 |
| Abstract/Scope | The proposed standard document specifies requirements for ensuring quality, safety and performance of laboratory-developed tests (LDT). It outlines the general principles and assessment criteria by which LDT shall be designed, developed, manufactured, validated and monitored for internal use by medical laboratories. While the proposed standard follows a current best practice and state-of-the art approach, it does not provide specific details on how to achieve these requirements within certain disciplines of medical laboratory testing. This document does not cover requirements for examination procedures developed by research or academic laboratories developing and using testing systems for non-in-vitro-diagnostic purposes. However, the concepts presented in this document may also be useful for these institutions. The proposed standard does not apply to the design, development and industrial production of commercially used in vitro diagnostic medical devices. |

(1) Date of ratification (dor) date when the Technical Board notes the approval of an EN (and HD for CENELEC), from which time the standard may be said to be approved
(2) Date of availability (dav) date when the definitive text in the official language versions of an approved CEN/CENELEC publication is distributed by the Central Secretariat
(3) Date of announcement (doa) latest date by which the existence of an EN (and HD for CENELEC), a TS or a CWA has to be announced at national level
(4) Date of publication (dop) latest date by which an EN has to be implemented at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement
(5) Date of withdrawal (dow) latest date by which national standards conflicting with an EN (and HD for CENELEC) have to be withdrawn
(6) This list of normative references is purely indicative. The only official list of normative reference is the list of the published standard.
In the case of undated standard, a link to the last dated version is provided.
In the case of series, a link to each standard identified in the series is provided.
We also invite you to check (via the website) whether corrigenda and/or amendments shall be read in conjunction with the main standard.
