Document: The first case of MERS-CoV infection in Korea was identified recently, in a 68-yr-old man who had travelled to the Middle East two weeks prior to his diagnosis [6] . Subsequently, 185 Koreans were infected during a four-week period through contact in hospital or in the household environment [7] . This was the largest outbreak of MERS-CoV infections outside Middle East Asia, and necessitated the rapid expansion of laboratories to conduct MERS-CoV testing in a short period, as well as the use of assays that had not been approved for diagnostic purposes. Therefore, an urgent external quality assessment (EQA) was proposed in order to assess the quality of the assays used.
