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 MU and Traceability WG is pleased to announce a new Guide covering the evaluation of measurement uncertainty from precision and trueness data.
The Guide provides a detailed approach to teh use of in-house method validation data for measurement uncertainy evaluation. Key topics include modelling how measurement uncertainty varies with concentrations, and how to handle divergent recovery values from different reference materials.
Eurachem is pleased to present a new Fourth edition of our Guide to Quality in Analytical Chemistry.
The Guide gives guidance on accreditation for analytical chemistry laboratories. This fourth edition reflects changes that were introduced with the publication of the 2017 version of ISO/IEC 17025.
Our Qualitative Analysis working group has published a new information Leaflet on the interpretation of qualitative test results using bayes' theorem.
"Should Gabriel visit Maria? A short introduction to Bayes’ Theorem" is short story showing how the prevalence of a characteristic - in this case the prevalence of a disease - affects the interpretation of test results.
Registration is now open for our 11th International Workshop on Proficiency Testing in Analytical Chemistry, Microbiology and Laboratory Medicine.
This four-day workshop features a day of training sessions covering key aspects of Proficiency testing, followed by three days of presentations and interactive discussions on key themes for PT.
Our PT working group has published a French translation of our Information Leaflet, "Basic instructions for participants in a proficiency testing scheme", with thanks to our French colleagues.
This leaflet includes essential tips to help participants avoid common mistakes and achieve successful outcomes. It also contains a comprehensive checklist outlining the key steps to consider when participating in a proficiency testing (PT) scheme.
