Abstract
The laboratory is a complex working environment, laboratory stuff need to manage and coordinate a multitude of processes, equipment, materials, samples, and people. Without agreements and definitions, long-term operation is economically inconceivable. Working with external partners and their systems would also not be possible without definitions. For this reason, there are a number of norms/standards that support everyday work in the laboratory. It is important to understand the difference between a norm and a standard. What are the reasons for developing a standard or using a standard? However, there are also a number of points to consider when using a standard. In the remainder of this section, the most widely used norms and standards are briefly described and, where possible, compared to each other. Nevertheless, there is still a need for further standardization at the laboratory IT infrastructure level, so that laboratories can continue to manage increasing complexity in the future.
