Workshop organized in collaboration with EUROLAB and CITAC. The deadline for submitting contributions is 31 August 2019.
The workshop will discuss measurement uncertainty evaluation for sampling and analysis in the context of ISO/IEC 17025:2017. The workshop will help laboratory managers and staff concerned with:
- designing and implementing sampling protocols to ensure acceptable levels of uncertainty in results and conclusions
- developing and maintaining field or laboratory procedures for measurement uncertainty evaluation and reporting to meet the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017
- reporting measurement uncertainty in conformity assessment decisions under ISO/IEC 17025:2017
The workshop aims to discuss:
- New provisions in the recently revised Eurachem Guide “Measurement uncertainty arising from sampling”
- Improved methods for evaluating uncertainty from sampling
- Current approaches to the evaluation of measurement uncertainty in analysis
- Limitations in uncertainty evaluation under the ISO Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM)
- New approaches for expressing measurement uncertainty – large uncertainties and asymmetry
- Recent developments in uncertainty evaluation using validation and QC data
- Measurement uncertainty, conformity assessment and decision rules in ISO/IEC 17025:2017
- Measurement uncertainty and regulation
- Software for measurement uncertainty evaluation
- Planning and accreditation of sampling under ISO/IEC 17025:2017
- New directions for international guidance – the future of the GUM
