Work in the laboratory is conditioned by a valid qualification of "employee knowledgeable for independent activity" according to Vyhl. 50/1978 Coll., which students must obtain before the start of course. Information on this qualification is given in the Dean's Directive Familiarization of students with safety regulations.
