Eurachem
has successfully concluded its first fully online General Assembly, ably hosted by Eurachem Romania. One of the main items of business at the General Assembly was the appointment of officers, including the new Chair and Vice Chair, following completion of the 2018-20 Chair's two year term.
May 20th is World Metrology Day. World Metrology Day recognises and celebrates the contribution of all the people who work in intergovernmental and national metrology organisations and institutes throughout the year.
This year, Eurachem marks World Metrology Day with a short video asking our Executive "How does Eurachem support global metrology?".
Eurachem has elected to reschedule its General Assembly for 2020 as an online event, between 27-28 May 2020. This first online GA will be kindly hosted by Eurachem Romania, the hosts for the 2020 Eurachem Week.
Brief additional details can be found on the corresponding Calendar page; participants will be notified of sign-in details directly in due course.

Thanks to our colleagues at Eurachem-CZ, the Eurachem PT Working Group has published Czech translations of our Information leaflet on investigating poor results in PT and our leaflet on use of surplus PT materials. Both leaflets give short advice to help laboratories get the best from PT.
Owing to restrictions on travel and other measures in place to reduce the spread of Covid-19, Eurachem regret to announce that it will not be possible to hold either the Eurachem General Assembly or the workshop "Quality assurance for analytical laboratories in the university curriculum" on the planned dates of 25-29 May 2020. These dates have therefore been cancelled.
Eurachem will be considering alternative arrangements, including later dates, for the GA and the Workshop and will update members as and when further information becomes available.
The Eurachem PT working group has released a new, Hungarian, translation of the information leaflet "Pre- and Post-analytical PT", bringing the number of language versions of this leaflet to sixteen. The translations can be downloaded here.
Other information leaflets can be found under 'Information leaflets'.
