It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Professor Wolfhard Wegscheider, a distinguished and valued member of the international analytical chemistry community.

As a dedicated member of Eurachem since its formation, Professor Wegscheider played a major role in promoting quality assurance in chemical analysis. His contributions to Eurachem were particularly significant.

As the only Chair of Eurachem to have served two separate terms in the role, he provided valuable leadership, encouraging international collaboration and promoting best practices in chemical measurement.

His work as an active member of the Eurachem Working Group on Measurement Uncertainty, contributing directly to Eurachem's first Guide, further strengthened the scientific basis of uncertainty evaluation and assisted its adoption through analytical chemistry laboratories worldwide. His contributions to the Education and Training WG and to the Qualitative Analysis WG were similarly valued.

Beyond his outstanding professional achievements, Professor Wegscheider was a dedicated mentor and generous colleague.

His passing is a great loss to the Eurachem community, but his contributions will remain a testament to his dedication and expertise.

Professor Wolfhard Wegscheider will be remembered with deep respect, admiration and gratitude.

He will be greatly missed.
