The use of DNA analysis in forensic technology has made this approach an important ally as scientific evidence in court. These analyzes must be conducted in a context of metrological reliability to provide and demonstrate the competence to issue the measurements results. One of the ways of a laboratory demonstrate their competence is through an accreditation process carried out by a competent and independent body, called accreditation body. In order to contribute to the development of accreditation program for forensic DNA laboratory, this paper conducted a survey to know the reality of Brazilian laboratories that perform DNA testing for forensic area for the use of quality management systems. In addition it carried out a mapping of the availability of specific quality requirements for the DNA laboratory within the framework of mutual recognition agreements of International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), specifically in the area of cooperation of the Inter American Accreditation Cooperation (IAAC). The survey results show that many forensic DNA laboratories use international standards and mechanisms to ensure the reliability of their measurements results; and it was shown that the accreditation bodies provide requirements or applications to the standard ISO/ IEC 17025 for specific forensic DNA laboratory to prove its competence through accreditation. The analysis of documents from different accreditation bodies has been shown that these rules were established by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. These standards were analyzed and compared with the ISO/IEC 17025 in order to provide a plan for implementation of additional requirements and or application for forensic DNA laboratory. The guidelines were presented to assist the Accreditation General Coordination (CGCRE) in the implementation of the new accreditation program of importance for the country and for the laboratories interested can apply these guidelines in their quality management systems
