While accreditation is the instrument of choice to ensure high performance by official laboratories, it is also a complex and costly process, which would result in a disproportionate burden for the laboratory in cases where the method of laboratory analysis, test or diagnosis is particularly simple to perform and does not require specialised procedures or equipment, as is the case for the detection of Trichinella in the context of the inspection and, under certain conditions, in cases where the laboratory only carries out analyses, tests or diagnoses in the context of other official activities and not of official controls.
Cé gurb é creidiúnú rogha na hionstraime chun ardfheidhmíocht na saotharlann oifigiúil a áirithiú, is próiseas casta agus costasach é mar sin féin, agus bheadh ualach míréireach ar an tsaotharlann mar thoradh air i gcás ina mbeadh modh na hanailíse, na tástála nó na diagnóise saotharlainne simplí go maith agus i gcás nach n-éilíonn sé nósanna imeachta nó trealamh speisialaithe, mar is amhlaidh i gcás Trichinella a bhrath i gcomhthéacs na cigireachta agus, faoi choinníollacha áirithe, i gcásanna nach ndéanann an tsaotharlann ach anailísí, tástálacha nó diagnóisí i gcomhthéacs gníomhaíochtaí oifigiúla eile seachas i gcomhthéacs rialuithe oifigiúla.
