Eurachem launches survey on metrological traceability

Details

Published: Thursday, 10 January 2019 17:21

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.

CGPM votes unanimously to change the SI

Details

Published: Friday, 16 November 2018 14:52

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 (20^th 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.
