Eurachem has issued a minor update to its information leaflet "Traceability of Analytical Results". The leaflet underlines the importance of metrological traceability in ISO/IEC 17025 and shows briefly how traceability can be established.
The second 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. The second circular gives additional details of the scientific programme.
Thanks to our colleagues in Estonia, two further Eurachem Information Leaflets are now additionally available in Estonian. The new Estonian translations are the information leaflet "Treatment of an uncorrected bias", and "Using repeated measurements to improve the standard uncertainty".
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.
