Quality assurance in semen analysis is now a standard procedure in most andrology laboratories. This communication is now questioning its value in any clinical situation and as a consequence asks whether the effort and the expense of such a process is really worthwhile. It concludes that semen analysis needs only to be performed competently without the need for costly and time-consuming forms of quality assurance.

Key words: quality assurance/semen analysis
