Estimation of uncertainties and the use of reference materials - EURM
Descripción del curso
The JRC is one of the leading global producers of reference materials for food and feed analysis, environmental analysis, engineering and health applications.
This course provides information about the selection and correct use of reference materials, how to use them for the estimation of measurement uncertainty and how to establish metrological traceability of measurement results.
The course also takes into account the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025.
Público objetivo
This course addresses practitioners working in laboratories who apply certified reference materials for statistical quality control, method validation and calibration and who need to assess measurement uncertainties. It is useful for laboratory managers and auditors who need to implement and assess the estimation of measurement uncertainties and the correct application of reference materials. Undergraduate students studying analytical chemistry may also benefit from attending.
