The RiLi-BÄK (“Directive of the German Medical Association”) is the statutory basis for quality assurance in German laboratory medicine.

It regulates:

• the implementation of internal quality control,
• participation in external quality assurance measures (EQA-Schemes),
• Evaluation and tolerance limits for analytes and
• the technical responsibility of the laboratory management.

The aim is to achieve a uniformly high quality of medical-diagnostic examinations in Germany.

RfB supports laboratories in the implementation of this guideline through reference-based EQA-Schemes that are directly adapted to the RiLi-BÄK specifications.
