Zone de Texte: Ensuring the quality of diagnosis 

Each diagnosis as well as for global quality control of the laboratory 
minimum level for internal quality control = positive/negative controls

An internal quality control programme :
The use of reference material 
The use of artificially contaminated samples
Replicate testing using the same method 
Comparative testing between analysts of the same sample
Comparison of results of different methods identifying different characteristics of a plant pest 
Retesting of retained plant material or extracts thereof, water or soil samples and insects traps
Inter- or intra-laboratory evaluation of documentation of the specific determinants on which diagnosis are based
Blind testing by processing samples with known levels of pests between routine samples.
