Quality Assurance for Analytical Laboratories - 1 st Reprint 1994 F Edited by M. Parkany International Organization for Standardization Geneva ; At the present time when public opinion is demanding accountaihility of laboratories carrying out analyses related to socially sensitive issues such as drug testing blood alcohol monitoring tiIV-testing water and air purity acid rain etc. the importance of harmonizing rotocols for quality assurance schemes cannot be over-emphasized. The first step in obtaining the status of 'Certified in Accorgance with...' is for a laboratory to make a full and detailed internal evaluation and this invaluable new book will assist you in that step.Quality Assurance for Analytical Laboratories shows how to introduce internal quality assurance schemes that can form the basis for third party assessment certification and accreditation. I1 gives real-life examples from a wide range of laboratories illustrates the statistical tools needed and details the correct terms and their definitions. It also contains a list of all relevant International Standards. For those laboratories wishing to establish a self-audit for checking conformity with the I S 0 9000 series this book i s a must.
