Quality Management Systems
The Łukasiewicz Research Network – PORT Polish Center for Technology Development has implemented and maintains quality management systems designed to meet customer requirements, continuously improve the quality of its commercial services, and ensure effective collaboration with scientific partners:
- 1. PN-EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018-02
General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. This system has been implemented in selected laboratories.
The Laboratory of Genetic and Microbiological Diagnostics holds a certificate confirming its competence in the evaluation of microscopic preparations, identification, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and mechanisms of drug resistance of bacterial infectious agents. The certificate is available here.
- 2. ISO 20387:2021-01
Biotechnology – Biobanking – General requirements for biobanking. This system has been implemented in the Biobank Research Group and is confirmed by the “Q-label” quality certificate issued by BBMRI-ERIC, as well as a certificate issued by BBMRI.pl.
- 3. ISO 9001:2015-10
Quality management systems. This system has been implemented in selected organizational units of the institute and in the Biobank Research Group. It forms part of the Quality Standards for Polish Biobanks and is confirmed by a certificate issued by BBMRI.pl.
In line with the development of new areas and competencies, selected elements of additional quality systems are also being implemented:
- 1. PN-EN ISO/IEC 27001:2023-08 – Information security, cybersecurity, and privacy protection – Information security management systems – Requirements
- 2. GMP - Good Manufactoring Practise.
Qualified personnel, appropriate equipment, and validated research methodologies ensure the high quality of results, in which our clients have full confidence.
Quality Management Systems
The Łukasiewicz Research Network – PORT Polish Center for Technology Development has implemented and maintains quality management systems designed to meet client requirements, ensure continuous improvement in the quality of commercial services, and support effective collaboration with scientific partners.
- PN-EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018-02

This system has been implemented in selected laboratories. For the Bioanalytics Laboratory, compliance is confirmed by the Polish Centre for Accreditation (PCA) through the Accreditation Certificate within the Scope of Accreditation, available here.
The Genetic and Microbiological Diagnostics Laboratory holds a certificate confirming its competence in the evaluation of microscopic specimens, identification, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and the determination of drug resistance mechanisms of bacterial etiological agents of infections. The certificate is available here. - ISO 20387:2021-01
Biotechnology – Biobanking – General requirements for biobanking.
This system has been confirmed by the “Q-label” Quality Certificate issued by BBMRI-ERIC and by a Certificate issued by BBMRI.pl. - ISO 9001:2015-10
Systemy zarządzania jakością. System ten mamy wdrożony w Grupie Badawczej Biobank – jest częścią Standardów jakości dla Biobanków Polskich, i potwierdzony Świadectwem wydanym przez BBMRI.pl.
Following the development of new areas and competencies, we are also implementing additional quality systems:
- PN-EN ISO/IEC 27001:2023-08 Information security, cybersecurity and privacy protection — Information security management systems — Requirements
- ISO 35001:2019-11 – Biorisk management for laboratories and other related organisations.
- GMP – Good Manufactoring Practice.
Competent staff, appropriate equipment, and adequate testing methodologies ensure the quality of results in which our Clients place full trust.
Accreditation
The Bioanalytics Laboratory operates a quality management system compliant with the requirements of the PN-EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018-02 standard and holds an Accreditation Certificate No. AB 1661 issued by the Polish Centre for Accreditation, confirming compliance with the requirements of PN-EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018-02 within the scope of the “Accreditation Scope of Testing Laboratory No. AB 1661” (available here), i.e., within the scope of accredited qualitative and quantitative chemical testing by NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy) of organic chemical products.
Accredited testing is carried out by competent, impartial personnel who are bound to confidentiality and remain independent from any pressure from clients or third parties.
