Importancia de la acreditación de laboratorios de organismos de regulación enológicos
Importance of the laboratories' accreditation of oenological regulation organizations
INAVI, Departamento de Laboratorio, Dr. Pouey 463, Las Piedras, Uruguay
A medida que aumenta la globalización de los suministros de alimentos, resulta cada vez más evidente la necesidad de reforzar los sistemas que velan por la inocuidad de los alimentos en todos los países. La acreditación es el reconocimiento formal, que hace una tercera parte, de que un organismo cumple con los requisitos especificados y es competente para desarrollar tareas específicas de evaluación de la conformidad. INAVI como organismo regulador de la vitivinicultura de la República Oriental del Uruguay cuenta desde el año 2011 con un Laboratorio Acreditado por el OUA (Organismo Uruguayo de Acreditación) en la Norma ISO/IEC 17025:2005. En la actualidad cuenta con 16 alcances en dos matrices diferentes vinos y sidras asegurando así su competencia técnica. Los Organismos Reguladores en Enología con frecuencia deben tomar decisiones en referencia a la salud y bienestar de los consumidores, protección del medio ambiente, control del cumplimiento de requisitos existentes reglamentarios y legales, generación de nuevos requisitos y regulaciones, así como asignación de recursos técnicos y financieros. Para poder tomar estas decisiones los Organismos de Regulación deben tener confianza en los resultados generados, la acreditación de sus laboratorios de ensayo genera la confianza necesaria para el desarrollo de dichas actividades.

As the globalization of food supplies increases, the need to strengthen systems that ensure the safety of food in all countries becomes increasingly evident. Accreditation is the formal recognition, made by a third part, that an organism meets the specified requirements and is competent to perform specific tasks of conformity assessment. INAVI, as the regulator of national vitiviniculture, has a Laboratory Accredited by the OUA (Uruguayan Accreditation Organization) in the ISO/IEC 17025:2005 Standard since 2011. Currently, it has 16 scopes in two matrices different wines and ciders thus ensuring their technical competence. Regulatory Organizations in Oenology often has to make decisions regarding the health and wellness of consumers, protection of the environment, control of compliance with existing regulatory and legal requirements, generation of new requirements and regulations, as well as allocation of technical and financial resources. In order to make these decisions, the Regulatory Organizations must have confidence in the results generated, the accreditation of their testing laboratories generates the confidence necessary for the development of this activities.
