In the air quality laboratories of EAE and REI chemieal analyses are performed in accordance with standardized analytical methods. A Quality Handbook, which is periodically updated, is also available. Control of the measurement accuracy is performed (calibration curve settings, verification with standard samples prepared in the laboratory). Comparative assessment of the results of the chemical analyses from different measuring devices is performed. The laboratories of EAE are accredited by the Bulgarian Accreditation Body.

The organization determines, on the one hand, the hierarchy in which the factory is structured and corresponds to the layout levels. On the other hand, the business processes have to be documented, often in quality handbooks. Part of the organization is finally the job assignment of factory tasks, at a certain qualification level, of the employees and the grouping into wage classes.

Core processes that are unique to the laboratory have to be identified and documented preferably using flowcharts (Fig. 1). This stepwise approach allows characterization of each single step, for example, in sample analysis in laboratories (shipment of samples, pre-analytical processing, analysis and post-analytical processing, reporting of results), determination of responsibilities, and documentation of analysis-specific SOP s. All documents are summarized in identical copies of the Quality Handbook that serve as important source of information for the laboratory staff (Fig. 1).
