Prague view

The first circular for the May 2021 Eurachem workshop onTrends and Challenges in Ensuring Quality in Analytical Measurements, scheduled for May 2021 in Prague, is now available. Organised by Eurachem colleagues in the Czech Republic, the workshop will discuss experience with the revised ISO 17025:2017, present current Eurachem activities in the field of analytical QA, and discuss future challenges from both research and practical perspectives.

New Information Leaflet on PT for sampling

Sampling PT

PT schemes for sampling play an important role in the improvement of sampling procedures and also in the development of participants from an educational point of view, especially if workshops with the participants are organised. The EEE-PT Working Group has developed a new Information Leaflet giving guidance on the application of ISO/IEC 17043 for PT providers organising PT schemes for sampling. If there is a comparison between participants and a mechanism for performance evaluation which meets the objective of the PT scheme for sampling, then ISO/IEC 17043 is applicable.

The new leaflet is currently available in English, with other translations planned.

ESThanks to the work of our colleagues in Eurolab-Espana, Eurachem has issued the first Spanish translation of the Eurachem/CITAC Guide "Traceability in Chemical Measurement".

Currently in its second edition in English, 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.
