There is now an international standard for ISO 22870, specifically for POCT testing. This standard is to be used by medical laboratories in accordance with the standard of ISO 15189.

All POCT services must be managed through a robust quality management system (QMS). QMS Hosting Medical Laboratory must be configured with QMS. Only competent quality management staff can design and operate QMS, which must be accredited by the international standards ISO 15189 and ISO 22870.

A markedly increasing number of facilities are performing POCT in non-healthcare settings in the United States with a certificate of waiver and in European countries; Concerns are being raised about the lack of supervision and requirements for staff qualifications and training. Canters for Disease Control and Prevention are making efforts to develop educational tools.
