Thanks to our colleagues in Ukraine, the Education and Training Working Group has published Ukrainian translations of the 2nd edition of the guide ‘Terminology in Analytical Chemistry: Introduction to VIM 3’ and the accompanying leaflet ‘You talk, we understand – The way out of the tower of Babel’.

The leaflet explains the importance of having a common language when discussing measurements and highlights some terms which are commonly confused or misunderstood. The guide discusses a selection of the concepts in VIM 3, focusing on those most likely to be encountered in analytical laboratories. It aims to cover chemical, biological and clinical measurements and gives examples over and above those in the notes accompanying the definitions in VIM 3.
