Quality Management System in Production of Reference Materials

The article touches the most relevant aspects of the role of quality management systems (QMSs) in the creation and replenishment of universal bases of reference materials (RMs) and harmonization of international standards. The article demonstrates how application of a QMS in this area ensures high-quality RM production by controlling the quality at each stage of the technological process. The publication focuses on the potential of a QMS to minimize errors and risks associated with the production of RMs, which increases their reliability and accuracy when used in scientific and production areas.
