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. Moreover, lectures are aimed at strategies and procedures used for food quality and food safety management. Both model and real-life examples are used to explain professional attitude and tools for solution of typical needs in food production.
