Warning & Disclaimer

These Guidelines have been developed to assist community laboratories and practitioners who order tests from community laboratories. Users must ensure that the practices comply with all specific legislative and/or accreditation requirements that apply to their practices or organizations.The Guidelines are not meant to supersede directives from government, practitioners' colleges or professional associations, and they are not meant to address every element of the topic or be construed as legal advice. Given the complexity of legal requirements, users are reminded that whenever there is uncertainty regarding whether some aspect of a Guideline is appropriate for their practice or organization further direction could be obtained from the Medical Director of the laboratory, their own professional association, college and or legal counsel or appropriate government ministry.
