In order to continue reinforce the testing capacity and quality of local health bureau laboratories. Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) established the "Regional Integrated Laboratory Testing Systems of Health Bureaus Nationwide" in 2015, and subsidized 20 local health bureaus to add 37 specific test items from 2013 to 2015. The capability of self-test items increased to 80% of the "Central- Local Division of Food Hygiene Testing List". In order to strengthen testing quality of local health bureau laboratories, TFDA conducted proficiency tests for the laboratories and promoted qualified laboratories for accreditation on specific test items. Till 2015, 698 test items of 22 health bureau laboratories had been accredited by TFDA. The laboratory testing system promoted the sharing of manpower, improved testing efficiency and reduced equipment costs, while increasing testing items, including the number of pesticide residues can be detected increased from 10 - 40 to 311, the number of veterinary drug residues can be detected increased from 6 to 122, the implementation of testing heavy metals, adulterants in Chinese medicine and foods, 3-monochloro-1, 2-propanodiol, dimethyl yellow and diethyl yellow which could not be tested in the past. TFDA in the future will continue the implementation of timely reviews as the basis for policy improvement to increase capability of self-test items of these laboratories up to 100% of "Central-Local Division of Food Hygiene Testing List", and to promote qualified laboratories for accreditation on specific test items. |
