The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes the vital role of accredited laboratories abroad in ensuring the safety and quality of products intended for the U.S. market. These institutions comply with regulations, control quality, and supervise the supply chain, thereby contributing to public health protection and facilitating international trade.

How does the work of FDA-accredited laboratories outside the United States affect consumer safety in the U.S.?
FDA-accredited laboratories abroad play a crucial role in the safety of American consumers by ensuring that imported products meet the same rigorous standards as products manufactured domestically. They conduct exhaustive tests to detect any potential risks and ensure that products comply with FDA regulations, significantly reducing the likelihood of adulterated or low-quality products in the U.S. market.

How do these laboratories contribute to the facilitation of international trade?
The presence of FDA-accredited laboratories outside the United States facilitates international trade by providing a reliable infrastructure for product evaluation and certification. This helps streamline trade exchanges between countries by ensuring that imported products meet U.S. regulatory standards from the point of origin, reducing inspection times at customs and improving the efficiency of the import process.

What is the role of these laboratories in supervising the global supply chain?
FDA-accredited laboratories outside the United States play a key role in supervising the global supply chain by working closely with the FDA to identify and address potential public health risks. They conduct audits at manufacturing and distribution facilities abroad to ensure compliance with established regulations, helping to prevent the entry of unsafe or low-quality products into the U.S. market. This proactive oversight is essential to protect public health and maintain the integrity of imported products.
