in the prevention, diagnosis and treatent of disease. It is obviously
essential that the properties measured in the clinic and the results
communicated from the laboratory to the clinician are correctly understood.

clarity and precision in communication in the discipline
* international standards in terminology required
by every clinical chemist
*with the backing of internationaly recognized organizations such as
IUPAC and the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry
