Summary. The results of the Ukrainian Laboratory of Quality and Safety of Agricultural Products testing activity analysis was carried out. The normative documents on the accreditation of laboratories and international recommendations concerning the rational use of standardized biological material in the testing activity are analyzed. The optimizing expediency of biological material collections functioning in scientific institutions is substantiated. The conducted analysis testifies the creation expediency of the national bioresource center, which unites (informationally) all functioning collections of biological material in order to increase the efficiency of their innovative potential. Not a high level of competitiveness of domestic agricultural products on the world market indicates the need not to ensure proper control of the quality and safety of not only finished products, but also all technological processes in its production. Ukrainian Laboratory of Quality and Safety of Agricultural Products of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences is accredited in accordance with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 for defining more than 370 indicators of quality and safety. Selection of samples (water, soil, grain, seeds, forage, fertilizers, pesticides, biological preparations, eggs, oils and fats, crop production, livestock, food products and food additives, etc.) for testing, conducting analytical studies and obtaining results are carried out accordingly, the documents regulating the order of work. They analyzed the results obtained in 2014–2017, as well as data on accreditation requirements and the technical competence of laboratories. An important direction in improving the efficiency of laboratory support for the production of agrarian sector of the economy is the organization of the proper functioning of biological resource centers. The scope of accreditation of the Ukrainian Laboratory of Quality and Safety of Agricultural Products involves the use of a range of standardized biological material. That is, the actual task is to create a unit to maintain a collection of biological materials used in experimental and scientific activities. The results of the analysis testify to the expediency of creating a nation-wide bioresource center that will unite (informationally) all functioning collections of biological material with the aim of increasing the efficiency of using their innovative potential.
