Welcome We are committed to providing veterinary practices with first class diagnostic testing, advice and support for the diagnosis, control and prevention of disease in farm animals. We carry out disease surveillance to detect new diseases and changes in the pattern of existing ones on behalf of the Scottish Government. Please help us by fully completing your Farm nimal submission forms. www.sac.co.uk/vets In addition to diagnostic surveillance, we also provide companion animal diagnostics, analytical services (including mineral and vitamin testing on veterinary samples), farm health planning and national livestock health schemes. Results Your veterinary practice, your clients and their livestock matter to us and we endeavour to report test results as rapidly as possible. pproximate turnaround times are given for guidance. Results are normally sent by email and/or fax. Quality We care about providing you with a quality service. We are a United Kingdom ccreditation Services (UKS) accredited laboratory and tests are accredited to the internationally recognised ISO/IEC 17025 standard for laboratory competence. Our farm animal diagnostic testing is carried out under the UKS accreditation certificates (accreditation nos. 2239 and 7624). The current schedule of accreditation is available in the UKS website. Where tests are subcontracted to outside laboratories preference is given to those holding UKS accreditation. Where this is not possible, laboratories are selected for specialty and expertise. Many tests are undertaken at only one laboratory and other tests may be transferred within the group. For further information contact your local DSC. Disease Surveillance and Research 2239 7624 We may wish to use samples anonymously for further disease surveillance or research work. If you do not wish to concur, please annotate the submission form appropriately.

SC COSULTIG: VETERIRY SERVICES STDRDS OF SERVICE We provide laboratory services in the veterinary, food and agri-environmental sectors. Our operations comply with the requirements of ISO 17025:2005 and are assessed annually by the United Kingdom ccreditation Service (UKS). Full schedules of accredited SC Consulting Veterinary Services procedures are available on request or can be viewed on the web at www.ukas.org/testing - laboratory search on laboratory ref. 2239 and 7624. The diagnostic work we carry out to support Scottish Government s animal disease surveillance programme is reported by SRUC. Other work submitted is reported by SC Commercial Ltd. SRUC and SC Commercial Ltd are separate legal entities and are covered by separate accreditation to ISO 17025:2005 by UKS on certificate numbers 2239 and 7624 respectively. Our scope of accreditation includes opinions and interpretations in farm and companion animal species. Our opinions and interpretations will be based primarily on the test results and appear under the interpretation section of test reports. ccreditation for the expression of opinions and interpretations relates to test results generated from the accredited methods on the UKS schedule. t all times our team will seek to provide opinions and interpretation, but on the occasions where this is not possible we will use advice from an approved subcontractor. In such circumstances this will be clearly identified on the test reports lmost all tests we offer are accredited to ISO 17025, however in the small number of tests that are not accredited, or where the test is carried out by another laboratory on our behalf we will clearly identify that these tests are not accredited. We are responsible to customers for any subcontracted tests, with the exception of subcontractors specified by customers or regulatory bodies. We have an assessment procedure for subcontractors and a register of approved subcontractors is maintained and reviewed on an annual basis. Should subcontracting be required, the services of an accredited laboratory will be employed wherever possible. We will indicate where a subcontracted laboratory was used. We are committed to providing the highest level of service to customers and we welcome recommendations for improvement and any comment you may have on the quality of service and service delivery.
