Activity Details
Chemical Metrology
Introduction
Quality of chemical measurements is an important issue in today's world influencing quality of life, On an international scale, the world of chemical measurements is undergoing major changes. This five days training course aims at enhancing the competence of participants and provide them with knowledge, skills and tools in order to enable them to:
- Validate measurement procedures;
- Establish and demonstrate traceability of measurement results;
- Estimate measurement uncertainty
- Use properly reference materials
- Interpret the outcome of inter-laboratory comparisons
The trainings course will include hands on practice with full explanation and practical example and discussion.
Objectives
The objective of the training course is to provide participants with the necessary information and knowledge, about the important of metrology in chemistry, and the requirement to ensure traceable and reliable measurement accepted internationally
Who Should Attend
Laboratory managers, analysts or anyone responsible for the quality of the analytical results.
