Abstract Laboratory managers are facing the task of altering the attitudes of themselves and their employees in order to implement a quality lifestyle, which is the prerequisite for successful implementation of a quality system complying with appropriate international standards. The alterations require a painstaking and constructive approach. Not all laboratories have the resources to secure the assistance of quality consultants. For those laboratory managers who have to find their way towards quality management on their own, some recommendations are given for a path towards a self-sustaining quality system. Several practical aspects of the basic steps in this path, which starts with assessing the current status of the laboratory and is followed by awareness building, are discussed. The recommendations are derived from the experience of the authors in their own laboratories.
