ACCREDITATION OF TESTING LABORATORIES IN THE FIELD OF SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL ACTIVITIES

Abstract

Today, managers are forced to take into account many different factors when making decisions. Therefore, there is a need to determine the features of the model for managing the activities of testing laboratories (hereinafter referred to as TL) in the system for the development, manufacture and modernization of products in the field of scientific and technical activities, which is based on the combination of organizational, economic and technological processes. Scientific research and development includes fundamental, applied scientific research as well as scientific and technical (experimental) development. In their work, TLs should be guided by the standards of the international and state format. This is the main factor in the reliability, accuracy and reliability of the results that the laboratory produces. In addition, testing institutes lead TLs to a unified system of standards, which ensures the recognition of the results of their measurements by all market participants. Therefore, accreditation of testing laboratories is carried out in Ukraine. After all, an accredited laboratory is a competent authority and the conclusions issued by it are reliable and reliable. The article considers the organizational structure of the TL and the factors that relate to the management of its activities. These factors include the structure and content of the requirements that are put forward during accreditation, including the requirements for the metrological support of tests. It is proved that the main factor of TL, which indicates its competence, is the reliability of the results. Ensuring this requirement involves the creation of a quality management system that regulates all processes. It has been determined that the TL activity management system includes processes that are associated with management, economics and the technological process – tests.
