Approved laboratories

 

The FASFC has a network of highly performing laboratories at its disposal, about fifty of which are external (private and public) partner laboratories. Among these laboratories are those specialized in the detection of animal diseases.  The FASFC approves these external laboratories and entrusts them with conducting analyses on behalf of the Agency. The Agency also keeps track of the deadlines and the prices of the analyses, verifies the accuracy and the reliability of the results and sees to it that the analyses methods meet the applicable standards.
