Abstract
The article discusses methodological materials on the conduct of forensic examination: methodological recommendations, standard expert techniques, forensic methodologies, standard operating procedures (SOP). As their characteristics are presented: basic concepts, structure, form of presentation, the scope of tasks to be solved, approval procedure.
During the research the author has applied a universal dialectical method, a system of general scientific methods: observation, description, comparison, analysis and synthesis, classification. Also, a comparison of methodological materials was carried out to identify the completeness of their description, especially concerning the quality control of the obtained results.
The author proposed a hypothesis that the SOP is the most universal form of description of expert research process for solving a typical task and can be used when creating a standard methodology. The focus of the management system of an accredited forensic laboratory on the quality of the results and the relationship with the internal structure of the SOP of forensic methodology is shown. The form of the registration passport of a forensic expert methodology in accordance with the requirements of the management system is described.
