Quality assurance (ISO):Quality assurance (ISO):
– All those planned and systematic actions All those planned and systematic actions necessary to provide adequate confidence that a necessary to provide adequate confidence that a product, process or service will satisfy given product, process or service will satisfy given quality requirementsquality requirements

Quality Control (ISO):Quality Control (ISO):
– The Operational technique and activities that The Operational technique and activities that are used to satisfy quality requirementare used to satisfy quality requirement
– The overall system of activities whose purpose The overall system of activities whose purpose is to control the quality of a product or service is to control the quality of a product or service so that it meets the needs of users. The aim is so that it meets the needs of users. The aim is to provide quality that is satisfactory, to provide quality that is satisfactory, adequate, dependable and economic. It adequate, dependable and economic. It represents the mechanism established to represents the mechanism established to control errors.control errors.

assurance that the quality control activities are assurance that the quality control activities are being done effectively. It is a form of control in being done effectively. It is a form of control in which intra-laboratory and inter-laboratory testing which intra-laboratory and inter-laboratory testing programs ply a major roleprograms ply a major role

Reliabilty of the ResultsReliabilty of the Results
Uncertainty:Uncertainty:– Uncertainty of a measured value is an interval Uncertainty of a measured value is an interval
around that value such that any repetition of around that value such that any repetition of the measurement will produce a new result the measurement will produce a new result that lies within this interval. This uncertainty that lies within this interval. This uncertainty interval is assigned by the experimenter interval is assigned by the experimenter following established principles of uncertainty following established principles of uncertainty estimationestimation
Errors: Errors: – Error refers to the disagreement between a Error refers to the disagreement between a
measurement and the true or accepted valuemeasurement and the true or accepted value
