Extract

The influence of Quality in the laboratory is now all pervading. Increasingly there is a climate which requires laboratories of any reasonable standing to be accredited to the appropriate Quality standard. Within ICI, a number of quality initiatives had manifest themselves- such as GLP1 (Good Lab Practice), BS-57502,TSO-90023, or NAMAS4 (National Measurement Accreditation Service). The latter is a UK body whose accreditation is particularly appropriate to research, analytical and contract laboratories.
