An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Measurement Uncertainty in Testing ISO-IEC 17025
Master the Techniques to Evaluate and Minimize Measurement Uncertainty in Laboratory Testing
CLASSROOM DATES
INTRODUCTION
Laboratories have a professional obligation to provide accurate and reliable analytical results to customers. The Laboratory will justify the customer’s trust by providing the correct answer to the analytical part of the problem, in other words, results that have demonstrable ‘fitness for purpose’. Analytical method validation is one of the measure universally recognized by laboratory as a necessity for a comprehensive system of quality assurance.
This EuroMaTech Measurement Uncertainty in Testing ISO-IEC 17025 training course will focus on the latest techniques and standards developed to measure the uncertainty of the data. The Guideline for Uncertainty Measurement (GUM) will be introduced in a simple way. Every effort is made in this course to eliminate unnecessary complications, to apply the GUM at its simplest level and to take away apparent mystery. Participants who have never drawn up uncertainty budgets before usually develop the required skill well before the end of the course. Others who seek explanations of GUM complexities obtain clarifications expressed in simple terms. Measurement uncertainty problems are solved by brainstorming methods so as to generate interaction by all participants.
Participants attending the training course will develop the following competencies:
- Practical, understandable and common way of measurement uncertainty calculations, mainly based on already existing quality control and validation data,
- Basic knowledge in the use of quality control and statistics is required
- Learn the need for uncertainty estimates and the concept involved in calculation of uncertainty measurement
- Understand and practice on the uncertainties covering general statistics, distributions, confidence levels, standard deviation, etc.; the scope and field applications; the uncertainty and its sources and components; the analytical measurement, the process of uncertainty estimation and measurement specification; the uncertainty sources and quality uncertainty (GUM)
TRAINING OBJECTIVES
This training course aims to enable participants to achieve the following objectives:
- Apply systematic techniques on best practices of measurement uncertainty in chemical testing laboratories
- Identify the need for uncertainty estimates and discuss the concept involved in calculation of uncertainty measurement
- Measure uncertainty calculation in a practical and pragmatic manner, define measurement processes and identify the sources of measurement errors
- Select appropriate error distribution, use different methods to evaluate measurement uncertainty and recognize other user-friendly material
- Calibrate interpolated graph using external/internal standards
- Estimate uncertainties covering general statistics, distributions, confidence levels, standard deviation, etc.
- Determine the scope and field applications as well as define uncertainty and discuss its sources and components
- Carryout analytical measurement, the process of uncertainty estimation and measurement specification
- Identify uncertainty sources and quality uncertainty (GUM)
- Quantify uncertainty and calculate the combined uncertainty
- Report uncertainty and employ statistical process control (SPC) and method of validation
