This document outlines the key considerations for laboratory management including the objective, types of laboratories, layout, regulations, and standards. It discusses providing controlled conditions for scientific experiments, technical measurements, research, and sample analysis while conforming to good laboratory practices and safety criteria. Major considerations include design, infrastructure, equipment, quality processes, energy needs, and conforming to regulations, practices, and procedures to ensure safety, security, and reliable results.
