ETHICS AND DEONTOLOGY OF THE FORENSIC CHEMICAL EXPERT IN FORENSIC CHEMICAL EXAMINATION

Abstract

 Forensic chemical examination constitutes a fundamental component of modern judicial systems. The ethical and deontological responsibilities of forensic chemical experts directly influence the reliability of judicial outcomes. This study provides an expanded analysis of professional ethics, institutional responsibility, international accreditation standards, and global statistical indicators related to forensic laboratory performance. Using comparative legal analysis, statistical synthesis, and evaluation of international forensic governance frameworks, this research demonstrates that ethical compliance, laboratory accreditation, continuous training, and transparent expert testimony significantly reduce judicial errors. Multiple comparative diagrams illustrate global trends in accreditation, expert error rates, and ethics training implementation. The findings support the necessity of harmonized international ethical standards and structured deontological education for forensic chemical experts.
