About CAP:

CAP certification is an international standard for the quality system of medical laboratories. It establishes detailed checklists for various disciplines in clinical laboratories through strict requirements to ensure that laboratories meet quality standards, thereby improving the practical work of laboratories and ensuring the accuracy of patient test results.

Since its adoption in the United States in 1962, CAP certification has been recognized worldwide as the most suitable international laboratory standard for medical laboratories since 1994. Laboratories that have obtained CAP certification represent that their quality has reached the world's top level and has been recognized by various international institutions.

CAP Proficiency Testing (PT) is an external oversight tool for laboratory quality assurance. It can be used to identify differences between laboratories, evaluate laboratories' testing capabilities, and provide strong support for the quality of test results.
