Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

Objectives of subject: • provide a comprehensive overview of the measures, procedures and tools to ensure the quality of data produced by the analytical laboratories, • provide a comprehensive overview of the measures, procedures and tools for documentation of the activities carried out to ensure the quality of data, • provide students with sufficient information about the management of quality in analytical laboratories. Acquired knowlewdges: to assess and find an appropriate analytical method; to choose the appropriate calibration and validation procedures; to select appropriate metrological practice; to select appropriate procedures within-and between-laboratory control; grasp of the quality management system. Acquired skills: to implement and evaluate calibration procedures; to construct and use control charts; to perform the validation of analytical methods; to carry out metrological analysis laboratories.
