To receive a maximum benefit from external quality assessment, the laboratory has to fulfill certain requirements. There have to be standard operating procedures and checklists for the correct sample processing and analysis. It is equally important, that the staff has a basic understanding how this quality-tools work and that detected errors are used as a chance to improve the processes within the laboratory. The benefit of surveys for external quality assessment is not only limited to the analytical phase, but also to some aspects of the pre and post-analytical processes. Due to the many participants, the survey providers are able to collect a lot of practical knowledge. All participants can learn from this by reading the survey reports and commentaries. With this, and with special educational surveys, the providers of surveys are able to offer an opportunity of continuous education to the laboratories.
为了从外部质量评估中获得最大益处，实验室必须满足一定的要求。必须有标准操作程序和清单，以确保正确的样本处理和分析。同样重要的是，工作人员必须对这些质量工具的工作原理有基本的了解，并且将检测到的错误视为改进实验室内部流程的机会。外部质量评估调查的益处不仅限于分析阶段，还包括分析前和分析后流程的某些方面。由于参与者众多，调查提供者能够收集到大量的实践知识。所有参与者都可以通过阅读调查报告和评论从中学习。通过这种方式，以及开展特殊的教育调查，调查提供者能够为实验室提供持续教育的机会。
