This book demonstrates the necessity and cost-effectiveness of a well-designed quality assurance program, and then goes on to provide instructions for setting up such a program. From the initial phases of defining the costs through setting objectives, writing a manual, appointing a coordinator, and developing all documentation, this handbook approaches the subject in an informative, systematic way.

This softbound book is both a how-to manual and a reference book, and is also available in Spanish. Contents include chapters on quality assurance planning; statistical applications and control charts; personnel considerations; management of equipment and supplies; sample and record handling; sampling and sample analysis; proficiency and check samples; audit procedure; design and safety of facilities; and laboratory accreditation.
