ABSTRACT
Participation in external quality assessment (EQA) has been mandatory in France as from 1978. The Ministry of Health has responsibility for maintenance of a list of laboratories and contracts EQA schemes to be organised and supervised by scientific groups. Serological markers for viral hepatitis B and anti-HIV were included in surveys, four times per annum, as from 1985. The number of laboratories participating increased from 178 for anti-HIV and 499 for viral hepatitis markers in 1985 to 3421 for anti-HIV and 2384 for viral hepatitis markers at the present time. The percentage of correct results varies depending on the method and specimen from 98% to 99% for anti-HIV and from 95% to 97% for HBsAg; the false negative rate has been as high as 14% for anti-HBs.
