This will come under the banner of 'And Everything Else’, and any help will be really appreciated.

I will be travelling from Phuket to HK next week, and will have my covid test at the Bangkok Phuket Hospital. The HK authorities need documentary proof that the laboratory or healthcare establishment where you received the covid test is ISO 15189 accredited. This document has to be issued by a third party or relevant authority of the government.

Does anybody have any idea where I could start for this?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on how to obtain documentary proof of ISO 15189 accreditation for their COVID-19 test at Bangkok Phuket Hospital before traveling to Hong Kong. Community members suggest checking the hospital's website for accreditation information and provide links to official resources that confirm the hospital’s ISO accreditation status. Additionally, they mention contacting the Department of Medical Sciences of the Ministry of Public Health in Thailand for further assistance.

standard. I think you could just print out the information at the site linked in my first comment above. Or if you think you need something more official you can ask the contact person mentioned at the same link.

many thanks for going to all that trouble. I can see that BPH is proud of being accredited but the document that the HK Government is asking for is proof of that, via a third party. Their own declaration of being an ISO

isn’t enough

The Hospital or there website at least will probably show what they have, its a selling point
