[Problems in organization of work at laboratories and metrological provision for an analytical process]

In the organization of a present-day laboratory, there are 8 fundamental elements that provide its activity and are integrated into the uniform system: safety; the correct organization of work; the range of studies; a current material-and-technical basis; the metrological provision of diagnostic and analytical processes; manpower; and adequate sanitary-and-hygienic and antiepidemic measures. The problems of the laboratory's activity are outlined in the light of implementation of Federal Law on the Uniformity of Measurements under No. 102 - dated June 26, 2008, and ways of their solution are proposed.
