In a meeting held in March 1999, in Montevideo-Uruguay, the Mercosul Association of Normalization – AMN, approved the solicitation which was sent by the Brazilian Society of Clinical Analyses (SBAC), through the Brazilian Association of Technical Norms (ABNT), for the creation and implantation of the Mercosul Sectorial Committee – CSM, including the sectors of the clinical laboratory and the product industry for the clinical dianosis.
AMN also conferred on SBAC the responsibility of carrying out the activities of the Technical Secretariat – TS of CSM-20, Mercosul Sectorial Committee of Clinical Analyses and in vitro Diagnosis. The purpose of CSM is to harmonize, in the ambit of the Common Market of Mercosul, the normalization proposals of the sector, either by means of the elaboration of Mercosul Norms – NM, completely developed in its territory, or adopting international norms which are under discussion or in effect.
The activities of technical normalization are developed by three SCM – Mercosul Subcommittees:
SCM 20:01 –Quality management in the clinical laboratory (Brazil)
SCM 20:02 –Reference systems (Argentina)
SCM 20:03 –Products for in vitro diagnosis (Uruguay)
The technical delegation of Brazil is formed by Drs. Irineu K. Grinberg, Luiz Fernando Barcelos, José Abol Corrêa, José Carlos Basques, Cristovão Luis P. Mangueira and Mateus Mandu de Souza
People interested in participating in one or more committees should get in touch with the Executive Secretariat soliciting the sending of the registration card.
