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.

Eurachem's measurement uncertainty and traceability working group has launched a survey to learn more about how different people view the often difficult topic of metrological traceability. Responses will help Eurachem understand differing views and improve future Eurachem guidance.
Contribute to the survey here: http://bit.ly/EUCHM_TRC_2019
The survey is not limited to analytical chemistry and Eurachem would be pleased to have responses from other areas of measurement.

Thanks to the efforts of our Eurachem colleagues in Georgia, the Eurachem Education and training Working Group's information leaflet giving an overview of the main changes in the 2017 version of ISO/IEC 17025 is now available in Georgian
Thanks to our colleagues at EURACHEM-ČR, the Eurachem information leaflet "Setting Target Measurement Uncertainty" is now additionally available in Czech. The leaflet gives a short introduction to the importance of the topic of target measurement uncertainty.
At 12:20 CET today, CGPM, the General Conference on Weights and Measures responsible for decisions on the systeme internationale, voted unanimously to move the foundations of physical and chemical measurement.
The CGPM met, at an open meeting at the Palais des Congrès, Versailles, to discuss and vote on the re-definition of four of the SI’s seven base units: the mole, the ampere, the kelvin, and the kilogram.
This change, which will come into effect on World Metrology Day (20th May) 2019, is perhaps the most fundamental change in the SI since its inception. For the first time, the SI will be defined entirely in terms of fundamental physical constants, instead of requiring the maintenance of a physical artefact.
The first circular for the May 2019 Eurachem workshop on Validation of targeted and non-targeted methods of analysis is now available. Organised by Eurachem colleagues in Estonia, the workshop will be directly relevant to everyone involved in analytical measurements in laboratories such as industry, pharmaceutical, medical, environmental, food, and academia.
