Quality assurance is a major concern for large thermodynamic databases. Examples for standard tests on phase diagrams, thermodynamic functions or parameters will be shown that are of practical use in checking consistency and plausibility. The typical end user, applying the database to a real multicomponent material or process, will generally not have sufficient time, resources, and experience to perform the quality check himself.
