Quality assessment helps maintain, detect, and suggest solutions for loss of statistical control. It includes internal methods, like analyzing duplicate samples and spikes, and external methods, such as laboratory certification by an agency.

It distinguishes between quality control, which involves bringing a system into statistical control through documentation and good practices, and quality assessment, which uses statistical tools to evaluate whether an analysis is under control and identify potential issues.

Although quality control directives explain how we are to conduct an analysis, they do not indicate whether the system is under statistical control. This is the role of quality assessment, the second component of a quality assurance program.
