What does DSQ mean in LABORATORY

Diaper Service Quality (DSQ) is a quality assurance program specifically designed to ensure the highest level of safety, hygiene, and comfort for diapers used in professional services such as daycare and childcare centers. DSQ provides guidelines and standards that help guarantee the health and safety of infants and children who use disposable diapers while receiving childcare services or attending day care.

DSQ inspections are conducted quarterly with additional random spot checks as needed to ensure that standards are being met. The inspection covers all aspects of diaper usage including conditions in the diaper change area, storage areas, as well as proper disposal of used diapers.

If an establishment fails to meet the requirements outlined by DSQ during the inspection, they will be required to take corrective steps before the next scheduled inspection. Failing establishments may also be subject to fines or other sanctions until corrective measures have been taken.

All establishments that provide childcare or daycare services must comply with DSQ standards in order to receive a passing grade on their inspections. This includes certified daycares, private schools, nurseries, kindergartens, playgroups, after school programs, child education centers, summer camps and any other organization providing care-giving services involving young children.
