ABSTRACT

Quality — the realization of specific requirements (which include the standards established by the quality control system in addition to accepted in-house requirements). Analytical quality — consistency of the obtained results (chemical analysis) with the accepted assumptions. The quality of information can be divided into components: quality of results, quality of the process, quality of the instruments, and quality of the work and organization. Quality control — a complex system of actions to obtain measurement (determination results) with the required quality level. A program of quality control includes:

Assuring a suitable level of staff qualifications• Assuring the proper calibration of instruments and laboratory equipment• Good laboratory practice (GLP)• Standard procedures•

The past decade or so was undoubtedly a period of “information hunger.” Access to a variety of information sources facilitates decision making not only in politics, but also in the economy and technology (related to control over the processes of manufacturing consumer goods). A new type of market arose, where information is bought and sold.
