Quality is an essential prerequisite for the credibility and success of producer or provider of service, such as laboratory testing. The quality management system where a laboratory needs to demonstrate its ability to provide services that fulfill customer and regulatory requirements are explained. Students shall understand the fundamentals of quality management systems and the relevant terminology used in (food) testing laboratories involved either in food/water quality and safety control or environmental monitoring. Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), quality control (QC) and Quality assurance (QA) rules are explained, students shall be able to assess the uncertainty of their analytical results and to use this information to decide on compliance with limits. Validation of analytical methods, traceability of measurement, sampling strategy and the participation in proficiency testing are also substantial part of general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories as defined by the international standards.
Aim of the course -
Last update: Kocourek Vladimír prof. Ing. CSc. (29.07.2016)

Students will be able to:

  • understand basic principles of the quality management systems in the testing laboratories and food/environmental sampling.
  • document and validate (chemical) analytical methods and to assess the uncertainty of test results.
  • understand, design and perform procedures used for quality control in analytical / testing laboratories and manufacturing (including statistical process control procedures).
  • assess compliance of test results with specifications and to take advantage of proficiency testing for quality assurance and improvement.
