knowledge. This material provided has been collected from different sources. One important source is the material available from EURACHEM. Eurachem is a network of organisations in Europe having the objective of establishing a system for the international tra- ability of chemical measurements and the promotion of good quality practices. It provides a forum for the discussion of common problems and for developing an informed and considered approach to both technical and policy issues. It provides a focus for analytical chemistry and quality related issues in Europe. You can find more information about EURACHEM on the internet via Eurachem A Focus for Analytical Chemistry in Europe . In particular the site Guides and Documents contains a number of different guides, which might help you to set up a quality system in your laboratory. The importance of quality assurance in analytical chemistry can best be described by the triangles depicted in Figs. 1 and 2. Quality is checked by testing and testing guaranties good quality. Both contribute to progress in QA (product control and quality) and thus to establishing a market share. Market success depends on quality, price, and flexibility. All three of them are interconnected. Before you can analyse anything the sample must be taken by someone. This must be of major concern to any analytical chemist. There is no accurate analysis wi- out proper sampling. For correct sampling you need a clear problem definition. There is no correct sampling without a clear problem definition
Professor Bernd W. Wenclawiak is teaching Analytical Chemistry at the University of Siegen, Dr.-Ing. Michael Koch is at the Institute for Sanitary Engineering, University of Stuttgart, and Evsevios Hadjicostas is working at Quintessence Enterprises Ltd., Nicosia.

From the reviews of the second edition:
"That a book on teaching quality assurance in chemistry has gone into a second edition is testament to its use and popularity. ... The PowerPoint slides are particularly useful, as this text is meant for those teaching a course on quality assurance in analytical chemistry ... . Overall I would recommend this book and accompanying material for any teacher of quality assurance. ... overall as a resource this is worth the purchase." (D. Brynn Hibbert, Accreditation and Quality Assurance, Vol. 16, 2011)
"The new edition ... provides an introduction to the concepts and approaches of analytical QA. ... It is written to train QA analysts and to teach beginners working for industrial/governmental services, but also in research laboratories. ... will be a great help for planning seminars to teach graduate students and practitioners in analytical chemistry with only basic knowledge of QA. ... I recommend this revised edition as a very valuable and affordable book, which should not be missing from any analytical laboratory using QA principles." (Jürgen W. Einax, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 401, 2011)
