Abstract
The importance of Quality Assurance is discussed. The requirements of a quality assurance program are divided into three functions; namely, the Control of Quality, the Determination of Quality, and the Documentation of Quality. The Control of Quality is defined as the regulation of factors that influence the reliability of the data. The Determination of Quality is defined as the use of procedures to estimate how good are the final results obtained in terms of quantitative accuracy and precision and qualitative accuracy. The documentation of Quality is defined as the use of procedures to form a systematic, intelligible, complete and permanent record of the control of quality and determination of quality.
