Sažetak
Laboratories for seed quality control test the quality of domestically produced and imported seeds. There are 16 laboratories in Croatia registered in the Register of laboratories for seed quality control. Laboratories conduct the testing of seed quality parameters, such as: seed purity, determining the presence of other species and weeds, seed moisture, energy and germination, weight of 1000 seeds, health condition of seeds and seed rinsing test – determining the presence of Tilletia spp. spores. Given that Croatia is a full member of the EU as off July 2013, the question arose about the need for accreditation of laboratories according to internationally recognized standards HRN EN ISO / IEC 17025 and about whether Croatian laboratories for seed quality control are ready for the introduction of quality systems and laboratory accreditation according to HRN EN ISO / IEC 17025 standard. The goal of this research is to determine the current state of laboratories for seed quality control in the Republic of Croatia and possibilities of laboratory accreditation according to internationally recognized HRN EN ISO / IEC 17025 standard. A questionnaire for laboratory managers was conducted for that purpose. The questionnaire was composed of three parts. The first part contains general laboratory information, the second part is related to laboratory equipment and qualifications of employed staff while the third part presents the views of laboratory managers on the importance of accreditation according to the HRN EN ISO/IEC 17025 standard.
