TRMU51- Evaluating measurement
uncertainty for chemical testing laboratories
Date 3 February 2010, 2
days
The ability to estimate measurement uncertainty is now a
requirement of testing laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025.
This course is in line with ISO principles and with the
EURACHEM/CITAC guide "Quantifying Uncertainty in Analytical
Measurement". The first day introduces the principles of evaluating
uncertainty and the second day goes on to provide the tools for
identifying uncertainties and using validation data. The lectures
and workshops take delegates through the process of evaluating
uncertainty . Completion of this course should provide sufficient
training to enable analysts to carry out an uncertainty evaluation
for their own laboratory methods.
What are the benefits?
This course will help you:
- Give your clients confidence in your results
- Determine the fitness for purpose of your results
- Demonstrate compliance with regulatory limits and contract
specifications
- Make valid comparisons between results obtained at different
times and places
- Meet ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation requirements
Contents
The course will cover:
Day 1 – The Principles
- An introduction to the concept of measurement uncertainty
- Statistics for measurement uncertainty estimation
- The basic principles of evaluating uncertainty
- Converting to standard uncertainties and combining
uncertainties
- Quantifying uncertainty components
- Evaluation of an uncertainty budget using spreadsheets
- How to handle precision
- Using and conveying uncertainty
Day 2 – The Practice
- Using data from validation studies
- Cause and effect analysis
- Dealing with data from recovery estimations
- Precision data from validation
- Handling uncertainty for large concentration ranges
Who should attend?
The course is aimed at analytical chemists who have limited
knowledge of measurement uncertainty and need to evaluate the
measurement uncertainty of a range of analytical methods.
