News items include website updates and recent news of Eurachem events and activities.
Thanks to much hard work from our colleagues in France and Germany the EEE-PT Working Group is pleased to announce French and German translations of three of our Information leaflets, on PT schemes for sampling, Use of surplus PT materials, and Investigating Poor Performance in PT.
Thanks to the hard work of Eurachem Portugal, with colleagues from CITAC and the ForMEQ consortium (Fórum Internacional para Metrologia e Examinologia em Química), the Eurachem guide "Setting target measurement uncertainty" is now available for download from the Eurachem site in Portuguese.
Thanks to our colleagues in Italy, the EEE-PT Working Group is pleased to announce an Italian translation of the Information Leaflet on PT schemes for sampling. The leaflet gives guidance on the application of ISO/IEC 17043 for PT providers organising PT schemes for sampling.
The Eurachem general Assembly in May 2020 saw the appointment of two new Executive Committee (EC) members - Michael Koch, from Germany, and Riin Rebane from Estonia - and the handover of the Eurachem Secretariat from Francesca Rolle (Italy) to Elena Sanchez (UK).
Thanks to the work of our colleagues in Eurolab Germany, Eurachem has issued a new German translation of the 2nd edition of the Eurachem/CITAC Guide "Traceability in Chemical Measurement".
The Guide is intended to help meet the requirements on traceability of results given in ISO/IEC 17025. It give principles and detailed guidance on establishing metrological traceability in chemical analysis. Although the guide aimed principally at testing and measurement laboratories, the principles are expected to apply from routine analysis to basic research.
The first circular for the May 2021 Eurachem workshop onTrends and Challenges in Ensuring Quality in Analytical Measurements, scheduled for May 2021 in Prague, is now available. Organised by Eurachem colleagues in the Czech Republic, the workshop will discuss experience with the revised ISO 17025:2017, present current Eurachem activities in the field of analytical QA, and discuss future challenges from both research and practical perspectives.
IUPAC and CITAC are pleased to announce the IUPAC/CITAC Webinar "Metrology, Quality and Chemometrics – Correlation of Test Results and Mass Balance Influence on Conformity Assessment" is to be held as a web-seminar, free of charge, on 21 Jan 2021, 16:00 to 18:00 IST (Jerusalem time, UTC+2 hours).
Thanks to our colleagues in Sweden, the EEE-PT Working Group is pleased to announce a Swedish translation of the Information Leaflet on PT schemes for sampling. The leaflet gives guidance on the application of ISO/IEC 17043 for PT providers organising PT schemes for sampling.
Thanks to our colleagues at Eurachem-CZ, Eurachem has published Czech translations of our Information leaflets on metrological traceability and on the use of measurement uncertainty in compliance assessment. Both leaflets give short advice relevant to implementation of ISO 17025:2017.
Thanks again to our busy colleagues in
Turkey, the joint introductory leaflet on measurement Uncertainty, intended to inform laboratory customers, is now additionally available in Turkish.
