Challenges for the 21st Century’s analysts

Berlin – May 21 – 22, 2012

Combining validation, metrological traceability and sound measurement uncertainty evaluation leads to reliable resultsprovides This workshop, at BAM in Berlin, will focus on the relationship between method validation, traceability and measurement uncertainty in various fields of quantitative analytical measurements. The workshop will

  • Review the development in these three areas
  • Share ideas on the needs for guidance on method validation with focus on the link betweeen the three elements
  • Discuss the criteria for methods – and the results they produce – being fit for purpose

The workshop will deal mainly with Method Validation issues on day one and Measurement Uncertainty
and Traceability on day 2. Both days will show how all the components are interrelated.

Further information

NOTE: The deadline for poster submissions has been extended to 30th April.
