Accreditation of Training Laboratories under PD 1534 is carried out by which authority?

• A. DOH through the BRL in conjunction with the Board
• B. Department of Education
• C. Board
• D. Department of Health

Answer: (A)

Under PD 1534, accreditation of training laboratories is handled by the Department of Health through the Bureau of Research and Laboratory (BRL) in conjunction with the Professional Regulatory Board (the Board). The DOH/BRL provides the institutional evaluation and grant of accreditation to training sites, ensuring facilities, equipment, supervision, and processes meet required standards for clinical laboratory training. The Board contributes by setting professional standards and overseeing the training components to align with licensure requirements. This collaborative arrangement ensures both the health system's quality controls and the professional training standards are satisfied. Education authority is not responsible for accreditation of health training laboratories, and the Board alone or the Department of Health by itself without the BRL/Board collaboration does not cover the full accreditation function.
