QMap

How is QMAP different from the CAP 15189 program?

  • QMAP offers a high-level assessment of your QMS
         rather than accreditation to ISO 15189.
  • QMAP requires less investment of time
         and preparation.

What will my laboratory gain from QMAP?

  • Find out how complete and effective your QMS is.
  • Benefit from the expertise of specialized assessors.
  • Receive guidance on how to implement the
         methodologies from the QMEd curriculum.
