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.

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.
Thanks to our colleagues in Estonia, the Eurachem leaflet "Use of uncertainty information in compliance assessment" is now additionally available in Estonian.
Thanks to our Eurachem colleagues in Spain, the information leaflet, "Setting Target Measurement Uncertainty", which gives a short introduction to the importance of the topic, is now available in Spanish.
The Eurachem Education and training Working Group has published a new Information leaflet giving an overview of the main changes in the 2017 version of ISO/IEC 17025 - General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. The new Standard has a revised structure, including different management system options. There is a new emphasis on "risks and opportunities", clearer reference to sampling activities, new requirements around conformity assessment and a new emphasis on metrological traceability.
The new leaflet is currently available in English, Spanish and Bulgarian, with other translations planned.
Measurement results are only fit for purpose if the measurement uncertainty (MU) is reliable and has a magnitude small enough for the intended use. The Eurachem measurement uncertainty and traceability working group has now released a new information leaflet, "Setting Target Measurement Uncertainty", giving a short introduction to importance of the topic.
