Serving as the basis for the accreditation program, the ICAVL Standards are an extensive document defining the minimal requirements for vascular laboratories to provide high quality care. Every two years, the Standards are reviewed by the ICAVL Board of Directors and revised as needed. The Standards are used by laboratories as both a guideline and the foundation to create and achieve realistic quality care goals.
The Standards must be referenced when completing the ICAVL Online Accreditation application. Whether applying for first-time accreditation or reaccreditation, the first step toward success is a review of the Standards by every member of the laboratory staff involved in the application process.
PLEASE NOTE: The 2010 ICAVL Standards were published April 1, 2010. Applications submitted after November 1, 2010 must be in compliance with the 2010 ICAVL Standards.
