Workshop aims

Workshop Aims

The workshop will address current practices, challenges, and future recommendations on quality assurance of physochemical and microbiological measurement methods and their validation, including sampling-related issues.

This workshop will be of direct relevance to anyone who is focused on the quality of analytical measurements and the reliability of decisions based on test results in accordance with ISO/IEC17025 requirements, taking into account the influence of factors that exist outside the laboratory environment. Such factors are mainly related to sampling or on-site measurements, and occur in the daily life of laboratories operating in many different fields such as food and beverages, health, environment, forensics, pharmaceuticals, etc.
