Evaluation of Measurement Uncertainty

Description

Measurement uncertainty is an essential feature of all tests and calibrations.  It can be used to estimate a range for values that could reasonably, with some defined probability, be attributed to a measured quantity. It is vitally crucial to account for measurement uncertainty whenever a conformity decision statement (e.g. pass/fail) is made. This course is designed to provide delegates with detailed view of uncertainty, traceability, uncertainty budgets, their components and pass/fail criteria (decision rules) relating to ISO/IEC 17025 compliance.

Who Should Attend?

• Laboratory directors, quality managers and technical managers
• Laboratory personnel responsible for the calculation & review of uncertainties
• Those auditing laboratory management system
• Organizations seeking or maintaining accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025
• Consultants and trainers
