Micoteca da Universidade do Minho (MUM, www.micoteca.deb.uminho.pt/) is a fungal culture collection that was created in 1996 and is hosted by the Biological Engineering Research Centre which is a centre of excellence integrated in the Institute for Biotechnology and Bioengineering (IBB, www.ibb.pt/). It has been proving itself for more than one decade of work and services. The mission of MUM is: 1) to provide the highest quality services to its customers and 2) to be a centre of knowledge, information and training in mycology, operating at a global level and under national and international regulations. MUM is member of European Culture Collections’ Organisation (ECCO) and World Federation for Culture Collections (WFCC), is registered at the World Data Centre for Microorganisms (WDCM) and BioCase. It is partner of Global Biological Resource Centres Network (GBRCN) and of the project European Consortium for Microbial Resource Centres (EMbaRC). MUM is data provider and Node Manager for Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and it was also involved on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) working group for Biological Resource Centres (BRCs). BRCs to have international status and to act in network need to implement and maintain a Quality Management System (QMS) and best practices accordingly to the OECD recommendations. In order to keep its high standards MUM is already implementing a QMS based on the normative reference ISO 9001:2008. The main aim of this work is presents the activities that MUM has performed and developed on the scope of implementation of QMS refereed above. The implementation of QMS has been done by steps: 1) creating work teams; 2) performing a “gap analysis” in order to analyse the current situation; 3) designing and documenting the system; 4) using it and recording its use and 5) reviewing the system. So far processes are identified and documented in a results-focused system with minimum administration. Is has been applied methods to monitor, measure and analyse each process through the establishment of performance indicators that define effectiveness and efficiency measures, and these measures align with the organisation’s overall goals and objectives. This overall process will be shared and discussed

ABSTRACT Micoteca da Universidade do Minho (MUM, www.micoteca.deb.uminho.pt) is a filamentous fungi culture collection established in May 1996 by the Universidade do Minho Rectorate, hosted by the Biological Engineering Centre, which is a centre of excellence integrated in the Institute for Biotechnology and Bioengineering (IBB, www.ibb.pt). In order to keep its high standards MUM has implemented a Quality Management System (QMS) based on the normative reference NP EN ISO 9001:2008 and the OECD Best Practices, 2007.  INTRODUCTION The mission of MUM is to provide the highest quality services to our customers, collecting, maintaining and supplying fungal strains and their associated information for teaching and research in biotechnology and life sciences. MUM intends to be a centre of knowledge, information and training in mycology, operating at a global level and under national and international regulations.  MUM has defined three processes, those being: Material Reception Process (MRP), Material Preservation Process (MPP) and Material Supply Process (MSP). MUM has also developed a documental base for all the QMS including proceedings, standard operating procedures (SOPs), forms, as well as quality objectives and goals for a continuous improvement. IMPLEMENTATION To implement the QMS, MUM established and followed a defined schedule (Table 1). The implementation of the QMS occurred for almost one year during which three main steps were developed. The first step was the planning of the QMS, followed by the design of the system and documental development and the third step was the implementation of the QMS with the achievement of the certification in May 2011. From this date on MUM will keep on performing a QMS revision and pursuing a continuous improvement. Table 1: Schedule for the implementation of the QMS.  MUM has reached a new step in its existence, besides celebrating 15 years of operation; MUM QMS team attained all the necessary conditions for the Certification of the implemented QMS and MUM has obtained the certificate of ISO 9001:2008 for the Deposit, Preservation and Supply of Filamentous   Escola de Engenharia   Semana da Escola de Engenharia  October 24 - 27, 2011    Fungi from the independent assessment agency (Portuguese Association for Certification - APCER with the International Certification Network - IQNet). Of the 590 culture collections from 68 countries registered in the World Federation of Culture Collections, MUM is the 1st Portuguese and the 23rd culture collection in the world to obtain this important qualification.  CONCLUSIONS The new obtained certificate will enhance further the reputation of MUM as a culture collection that pursues the goals of excellence and leadership implicit in these new and exacting standards. Additionally, MUM will become an even more relevant partner of the Global Biological Resource Centre Network (www.gbrcn.org) and European Consortium of Microbial Resources Centres (www.embarc.eu) projects. MUM is fully committed to the (a) recently-published OECD best practices guidelines relating to quality management for Biological Resource Centres, and (b) Microbial Resource Research Infrastructure (MIRRI) project. MIRRI proposes an European infrastructure for microbial culture collections as described in the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures - ESFRI “Road Map” which was unanimously approved by the 27 participating European Union countries.
