About This Item
TS 13134 is a guidance document for interpreting EN ISO/IEC 17025 in the accreditation of microbiological laboratories. Its practical focus is to help assessors and laboratories use the competence framework of 17025 consistently in microbiology, where test quality depends heavily on sample handling, contamination control, method suitability, staff competence, and traceable reporting.
Competence in the microbiology laboratory context
In microbiological testing, reliable results are built on validated methods, appropriate culture media and reference cultures, control of environmental contamination, competent personnel, and records that support traceability. In general technical terms, this guidance adapts the laboratory competence model of EN ISO/IEC 17025 to a specialized field where biological variability and aseptic practice are central concerns, helping users assess whether a laboratory is prepared for accreditation in a structured way.

- Intended for both assessors and laboratories preparing for accreditation.
- Provides specific guidance for laboratories performing microbiological testing.
- Complements ISO/IEC 17025 rather than replacing the general requirements standard.
