English translation: standards committee / organization / department

German to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Management
German term or phrase: Vorschriftenstelle
Leitung Administration QK-FP (Gerätemanagement, Referenzsubstanzen, Vorschriftenstelle) und Laborbereiche QK-FP

From a work reference for somebody working for a pharmacompany.

The QK-FP is Qualitätskontrolle- Fertigprodukte

The Vorschriftenstelle must be some kind of standards office but I would like to find the best word.

agree  philgoddard: I agree with "department", and "standards and procedures" might be a better rendition. It's where all of the organisation's guidance documents are held and updated, and a lot of the Google hits are military.
