'''Quality Management''' (QM) coordinated activities to direct and control an organisation with regard to quality. In humanitarian demining QM consists of '''Quality Assurance''' (QA) and '''Quality Control''' (QC). QA is focused on providing confidence that quality requirements will be fulfilled. The purpose of QA in humanitarian demining is to confirm that management practices and operational procedures for demining are appropriate, are being applied, and will achieve the stated requirement in a safe, effective and efficient manner. Internal QA will be conducted by demining organisations themselves, but external inspections by an external monitoring body e.g. NMAA should also be conducted. QC relates to the inspection of a finished product. In the case of humanitarian demining, the 'product' is safe cleared land and is carried out by the operator.
