    Measurement uncertainty (MU) is essential for laboratory quality management and is required by international standards like ISO 15189.

    CBAHI accreditation standards lack explicit coverage for MU across all analyzed clinical laboratory standards.

  • 3

    CBAHI standards show moderate to high alignment with ISO 15189:2022 in conventional analytical quality domains.

  • 4

    International guidance considers MU a fundamental requirement, contrasting with CBAHI's current lack of MU estimation requirements.

  • 5

    Enhancing CBAHI standards with MU-focused clauses is crucial for aligning with global best practices and improving patient safety.
