Abstract
This work describes the frequency of findings registered in the assessment reports of 23 Brazilian animal health laboratories from 2008 to 2016. The study was conducted in consideration of the ISO/IEC 17025 requirements and normative documents issued by the Brazilian Accreditation Body [General Coordination for Accreditation (Cgcre)]. The general performance of these laboratories throughout the evaluation cycles was investigated. The types and number of findings reported in the assessments of these laboratories were analyzed according to the management and technical requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 and Cgcre’s normative documents. The laboratories’ performance was compared in consideration of the number of findings reported in the first and last assessments of each laboratory investigated.
