NCCLS announces that the following document is submitted for vote as a candidate-for-advancement consensus document.

The document and ballot is posted on NCCLS Forums to delegates of Active and Associate Active member organizations. If you are a voting delegate or alternate, we request that you access NCCLS Forums to obtain the candidate-for-advancement document. Login to access NCCLS Forums.

The deadline for the completed ballot for AST4-A2 to be received in the Executive Offices is 7 February 2005.

AST4-A2Glucose Monitoring in Settings Without Laboratory Support; Approved Guideline–Second Edition
This document contains guidelines for performance of point-of-care (POC) glucose monitoring systems; the guidelines stress quality control, training, and administrative responsibility.


Under our Administrative Procedures, an NCCLS document approved by the area committee at the first level of the consensus process is submitted to the NCCLS delegates as a “candidate-for-advancement” consensus document. This begins the voting and approval period by the delegates.

As a delegate, your vote is to affirm (or reject) the document for advancement as an NCCLS document. Please send your completed ballot to the Executive Offices by the above deadline.

In the NCCLS consensus process, comments are invited at each publication stage. In each edition, the responsible committee includes a summary of comments on the prior edition and its responses to them. Any comments received on a candidate-for-advancement consensus document as a result of delegate voting and consensus review will be addressed by the committee during the document’s advancement.
