Measurement Uncertainty - Confidence in Measurement (Based on the Requirements of ISO/IEC 17025)

An entertaining instructor who made the course interesting and understandable.~ NIBSC

Overview

The validity of absolute measurements made have little meaning unless the uncertainty of the equipment used to perform the task is known. This workshop will acquaint delegates with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 and covers the basic statistics required. It provides practical uncertainty exercises and all of the activities are supported with examples of typical uncertainty budgets, which are chosen to cover different fields of measurement.

Course Objectives

This interactive and practical workshop is designed to provide delegates working in the field of measurement with the knowledge to develop uncertainty budgets to meet the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 and laboratory accreditation bodies.

Key Skills / Learning Objectives

Through the combination of interactive tutorials and workshops, our course will enable the delegates to:

• Develop a structured uncertainty budget, with an awareness of the uncertainty contributions associated with a measurement system and how to evaluate the magnitude of these errors.
• Utilize the results of uncertainty budgets to determine cost and efficiency improvements in measurement systems.

Practical workshops are designed to reinforce the discussions and topics. This style of delivery makes the course both memorable and enjoyable for participants, ensuring long-term learning.
