Abstract

The objective of this research was to integrate the requirements of the mandatory regulations in force for the accreditation of Vitrofural® quality control tests. It is in the interest of the Center for Chemical Bioactives (CBQ) that the quality control tests for Vitrofural®, an inhibitor of microbial contamination of culture media for the production of in vitro plants, have sufficient competitiveness and excellence, for which works on the continuous improvement of the effectiveness of its integrated management system and accreditation of its quality control laboratory. The integrated regulations were the NC ISO/IEC 17025: 2017 with the criteria of the National Accreditation Body of the Republic of Cuba (ONARC) of 2018 and Regulation No.37 of the Center for the State Control of Medicines, Equipment and Medical Devices (CECMED) dated 2012 (current edition). A great correspondence between both was evidenced when integrating the highest percentage of the requirements, which makes it easier for the efforts and resources invested by the entire organization to be used intelligently with the same approach, but with different orientations. All of this makes it possible to improve the management system, since planning, monitoring and constant feedback are facilitated and risk-based thinking is promoted, which lays the foundation for increasing efficiency, achieving better outcomes, and preventing negative effects.
