Abstract
The entry into force of DPR n. 87 of 7th April 2016 relating to the DNA Data Bank requires an implementation upgrade of the Forensic Genetics analysis to ensure the quality of results by the control of the pre-analytical and analytical processes. The decree provides the opportunity to define the operational guidance elements, shared by Italian laboratories in the Forensic Genetics field, aimed at ensuring the quality of data and at producing useful genetic profiles: for this reason, the laboratories who want to contribute to the Bank of DNA data need accreditation in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025. This document represents a brief technical document of the Italian Society of Human Genetics in the aim of supporting laboratories seeking accreditation as well as the Italian National Accreditation Body appointed by the State to perform accreditation activity (ACCREDIA).
