There has been significant expansion and development in clinical laboratory sciences, particularly in metrological concepts, definitions, and terms, since the previous edition of this —also known as the IUPAC Silver book—was published in 1995. It is of prime importance to standardize laboratory reports for the reliable exchange of patient examination data without loss of meaning or accuracy. New disciplines have appeared and the interrelationships between different disciplines within clinical laboratory sciences demand a common structure and language for data exchange, in the laboratory and with the clinicians, necessitating additional coverage in this book. These new sections are based upon recommendations published by various national, regional, and international bodies, especially IUPAC and IFCC. This book groups and updates the recommendations and will be appropriate for laboratory scientists, medical professionals, and students in this area.

This second edition of the Compendium of Terminology and Nomenclature of Properties in Clinical Laboratory Sciences was discussed in an IFCC and IUPAC joint Working Group: Rene Dybkaer (Frederiksberg); Georges Ferard (Strasbourg, Chair); Francoise Pontet (Paris, co-Chair); Xavier Fuentes-Arderiu (Barcelona); Dongchon Kang (Kyushu); Gilbert Hill (Toronto); Clement Mc Donald (Indianapolis); and Anders J. Thor (Stockholm).
