International Guide to Quality in Analytical Chemistry : An Aid to Accreditation

This text is a CITAC (Co-operation on International Traceability in Analytical Chemistry) document, produced by an international group and distributed by the Royal Society of Chemistry on behalf of the Laboratory of the Government Chemist.

It supports the VAM (Valid Analytical Measurement) initiative and aims to provide laboratories with guidance on best practice for improving the quality of the analytical operations they carry out.

The guidance covers both qualitative and quantitative analysis carried out on a routine or non-routine basis, and throughout it is cross-referenced to the related parts of ISO guide 25, ISO 9000 and OECD GLP Principles.
