Foreword The application of Quality Assurance (QA) techniques has led to major improvements in the quality of many products and services. Fortunately these techniques have been well documented in the form of guides and standards and nowhere more so than in the area of measurement and testing, particularly chemical analysis. Training of analysts and potential analysts in quality assurance techniques is a major task for universities and industrial and government laboratories. Re-training is also necessary since the quest for improvements in quality seems to be never ending. The purpose of this book is to provide training material in the convenient form of PowerPoint slides with notes giving further details on the contents of the slides. Experts in the relevant topic, who have direct experience of lecturing on or utilising its contents, have written each chapter. Almost every aspect of Q
