News items include website updates and recent news of Eurachem events and activities.
Thanks to the hard work of Eurachem Portugal and the ForMEQ consortium (Fórum Internacional para Metrologia e Examinologia em Química), the Eurachem guide "Use of uncertainty information in compliance assessment" is now available for download from the Eurachem site in Portuguese.
ILAC has recently published a revision of the key guidance document on decision rules and statements of conformity.
To reflect the renewed inportance of decision rules in ISO 17025:2017, the title of the new ILAC G8 has been changed from "Guidelines on the Reporting of Compliance with Specification" to "Guidelines on Decision Rules and Statements of Conformity In ISO/IEC 17025". The revised guidance can be found on the ILAC website.

Thanks to the hard work of our colleagues in the Ukraine, the Measurement Uncertainty and Traceability WG is pleased to announce the availability of Ukrainian translations of the Eurachem Information leaflets on Setting Target Measurement Uncertainty and on Metrological Traceability of Analytical Results. |
The Eurachem Method Validation Working Group has published a new supplement to our guide on Method validation, covering the planning and reporting of validation studies. The supplement is in the form of a template for planning the evaluation of chosen performance characteristics. Once the experimental work has been completed, the template can be easily converted into a validation report. The supplement also contains a checklist to assist with validation planning..
The organisers are pleased to provide the scientific programme and further information for the Eurachem International Workshop on "Uncertainty from sampling and analysis for accredited laboratories". The programme includes presentations on accreditation issues and on taking account of measurement uncertainty in decision rules for conformity assessment. The workshop is kindly hosted by BAM at BAM headquarters, Unter den Eichen, Berlin, Germany,on 19-20 November 2019.
You can download the full programme here.
Registration is via the web page at www.eurachem.org/MU2019. [Separate website]
Abstracts can be submitted at www.eurachem.org/AbstractsMU2019 [Separate website].

Thanks to hard work from our colleagues at Eurachem-España and Eurolab-España, the Eurachem guide "Setting and Using Target Uncertainty in Chemical Measurement" is now available for download from the Eurachem site in Spanish.
The guide shows how to set a maximum admissible uncertainty, or “target uncertainty”, to check whether the measurement uncertainty is fit for the intended purpose.

Thanks to our colleagues at Eurolab-D in Germany, the Eurachem information leaflet "Traceability of Analytical Results" is now additionally available in German. The leaflet gives a short introduction to the the topic of metrological traceability.
The 2nd edition of the guide ‘The Fitness for Purpose of Analytical Methods: A Laboratory Guide to Method Validation and Related Topics’ was published in 2014. Eurachem guides are reviewed five years after publication to assess the need for revision. As part of this process the Method Validation Working Group is seeking feedback from users of the guide.
Click here (https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/3V283RH) to access a short survey to give us your views on the guide. The survey should take no more than 15 minutes to complete. The closing date for responses is 20 September 2019.
The Eurachem Method Validation Working Group is pleased to announce a new, short, guide to the use of blanks in method validation. This is a short supplement to our guide on Method validation, and describes the different types of blanks which may be used during method validation. It provides guidance for validation in situations where it may be difficult to obtain a suitable blank matrix.
