Welcome to Eurachem, a network of organisations in Europe having the objective of establishing a system for the international traceability of chemical measurements and the promotion of good quality practices. It provides a forum for the discussion of common problems and for developing an informed and considered approach to both technical and policy issues. It provides a focus for analytical chemistry and quality related issues in Europe.

Eurachem's Sampling Uncertainty WG has issued a new edition of the Eurachem/CITAC Guide "Measurement Uncertainty Arising from Sampling".
Sampling often introduces considerable uncertainty. This Guide describes various methods that can be used to estimate the uncertainties arising from the processes of sampling and the physical preparation of samples. It is intended primarily for specialists such as sampling planners and for analytical chemists who need to estimate the uncertainty associated with their measurement results.

Eurachem has issued an updated edition of the Eurachem/CITAC Guide "Traceability in Chemical Measurement". The Guide is intended to assist laboratories in meeting the requirements on traceability of results given in ISO/IEC 17025, giving principles and detailed guidance on establishing of metrological traceability in quantitative chemical analysis. Though aimed principally at testing and measurement laboratories, the principles are expected to apply from routine analysis to basic research.
This second edition is a minor revision and amends the Guide to reflect revised terminology introduced in the third edition of the International Vocabulary of Metrology (VIM).
Thanks to our colleagues in Germany, the Eurachem information leaflet "Setting Target Measurement Uncertainty" can now be read in German. The leaflet gives a short introduction to the importance of the topic of target measurement uncertainty.
Eurachem is pleased to announce an International Workshop on "Uncertainty from sampling and analysis for accredited laboratories" in conjunction with Eurolab and CITAC.
The workshop will be held on 19-20 November 2019. The workshop is kindly hosted by BAM at BAM headquarters, Unter den Eichen, Berlin, Germany.
