Welcome to Eurachem, a network of organisations in Europe having the objective of establishing a system for the international traceability of chemical measurements and the promotion of good quality practices. It provides a forum for the discussion of common problems and for developing an informed and considered approach to both technical and policy issues. It provides a focus for analytical chemistry and quality related issues in Europe.

The Eurachem method validation working group is pleased to announce that, thanks to the hard work of our colleagues in Germany, the second edition of the Eurachem guide "The Fitness for Purpose of Analytical Methods" is now additionally available from this website in German.
The Eurachem measurement uncertainty and traceability working group has released a new information leaflet, "Treatment of an observed bias", giving general guidance on the often difficult subject of when, and when not, to correct measurement results for an observed bias. The leaflet does not describe how to apply a correction or how to increase the uncertainty to take account of an uncorrected bias, though it does provide relevant literature sources for further information.
Thanks to the work of the the EURACHEM Proficiency Testing Working Group , the information leaflet "Proficiency testing - how much and how often?" is now available in German.The leaflet helps laboratories select the right balance of areas of work and participation frequency.
The Eurachem Education and Training group has published a further translation of the information leaflet, "You talk, we understand – The way out of the tower of Babel". The leaflet is now additionally available in Russian.
The Eurachem Education and Training WG have updated the popular Eurachem Reading List. The list provides a collection of key references on metrology in chemistry and quality assurance. The list includes websites, standards, guides and books as well as refereed literature. The update follows a review carried out in 2016 to keep the list up to date. The reading list is available in both PDF and on-line HTML formats.
