    Abstract:
    Education has always been a priority for the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE). Many efforts have been dedicated to promoting knowledge of techniques, procedures and strategies in order to ensure use of the highest quality practices in reproductive medicine. The need to develop a set of guidelines was a logical consequence that found its first expression in 1990, when Focus on Reproduction (vol. 1, pp. 10-38) published the first guidelines which were distributed among the membership. Five years later a new, more complete edition with several novel techniques and developments appeared in Human Reproduction (vol. 10, pp. 1246-1271). Both have proved to be invaluable references. Five more years have now passed. The necessity to produce current guidelines for good IVF laboratory practice has provided the strongest motivation. This originated from the increasing awareness that embryologists have a duty to prevent unintentional incidents that might result from poor practice in the laboratory. Therefore, the Embryology Special Interest Group (SIG) undertook to draw up guidelines aimed at giving support and guidance to the laboratory staff. All the aspects required to provide a safe working system were taken into consideration by members of the SIG and their effort produced this document. We hope that it will assist staff in achieving the best clinical outcome for their patients.
