1 Scope
1.1 This standard outlines a code of safety for chemical laboratories.
1.2 The standard outlines:
(a) general rules of conduct concerning safety;
(b) details for fire emergency and rescue procedures;
(c) general laboratory techniques.
1.3 This standard does not cover hazards relating to radioactive substances.
1.1 This standard specifies:
(a) requirements for the manufacturing, alloying and testing of gold articles of 23, 22, 20, 18, 15, 14, 12, 10 and 9 kt gold;
(b) requirements for findings and solders to be used in the manufacture of gold articles;
(c) methods for assaying gold, alloyed gold, solder, findings and gold articles;
(d) non-destructive testing of gold articles by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF); and
(e) requirements for making and labelling of imported gold articles.
NOTE 1 It does not specify requirements for design of gold articles and does not apply to gold articles intended for industrial purpose such as dentistry, electronics, official coins, gold bars and other such uses.

This standard specifies requirements for the operation of laboratories and is applicable to all laboratories regardless of the number of personnel or the extent of the scope of testing activities.
This standard is for use by laboratories in developing their quality, administrative and technical systems that govern their operations. Any party may use this standard when confirming or recognising the competence of laboratories.
This standard specifies requirements for the operation of testing and/or calibration laboratories. It is applicable to all laboratories regardless of the number of personnel or the extent of the scope of testing activities.
This document specifies the general requirements
for the competence, impartiality and consistent operation of laboratories. It is
applicable to all organizations performing laboratory activities, regardless of
the number of personnel.
Laboratory customers, regulatory authorities, organizations and schemes using peer-assessment, accreditation bodies, and others use this document in confirming or recognizing the competence of laboratories.
This standard specifies the general requirements for a laboratory safety management system, which will enable a laboratory to formulate a policy and objectives. It takes into account legislative requirements and information about significant risks, that the laboratory can control and over which it can be expected to have an influence, to protect its employees and others, whose health and safety may be affected by the activities of the laboratory.

In addition this standard specifies specific requirements for medical laboratories. This standard is applicable to any laboratory that wishes to: (a) implement, maintain and improve an Occupational Safety and Health Management System; (b) assure itself of its conformance with its stated safety policy; and (c) make s self-determination and self –declaration of conformance with this standard.
