Report
During the meeting, IDMABIO presented its recent activities and organizational structure, followed by a roundtable discussion. Key topics included improving the workflow, particularly sample shipping guidelines and the connection with the ARTEMIS database, whose limited accessibility was noted. The need to associate analysis results with a confidence level was discussed, but no clear consensus emerged on decision rules. The inclusion of IDMABIO in an ISO9001 or ISO17025 certification process was raised, requiring further strategic clarification. Finally, potential actions were identified regarding quarantine pest declarations, partnerships with PatriNat, and regulatory obligations.
Conclusion
The SUC highlighted both the progress made by IDMABIO and the key areas requiring further development and clarification. Priority actions were identified to strengthen technical processes, data reliability, and regulatory alignment.
