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.

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.
CITAC, in conjunction with IUPAC, are pleased to announce the IUPAC/CITAC Workshop on "Quality of Test Results for Conformity Assessment
of a Chemical Composition: What is Good and What is Bad?"
The main goal of the workshop is discussion of the quality parameters of test (chemical analytical) results in pharmaceutical industry, environmental analysis, metallurgy and other fields, necessary for conformity assessment of a material or object.

Thanks to our Italian colleages and the EURACHEM Proficiency Testing Working Group, the information leaflet "Proficiency testing - how much and how often?" is now available in Italian. The leaflet helps laboratories select the right balance of areas of work and participation frequency.
Thanks to an outstanding effort by our Russian colleagues, the well-known Eurachem/CITAC Guide "Quantifying Uncertainty in Analytical Measurement" (3rd edition) is now available in Russian.
