It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Professor Wolfhard Wegscheider, a distinguished and valued member of the international analytical chemistry community.
As a dedicated member of Eurachem since its formation, Professor Wegscheider played a major role in promoting quality assurance in chemical analysis. His contributions to Eurachem were particularly significant.
Thanks to the work of our colleagues at Eurachem-CZ, the Eurachem Education and Training Working Group is pleased to announce the release of a new Czech translation of our guide “Terminology in Analytical Measurement: Introduction to VIM 3â€. The guide discusses a selection of the concepts in VIM 3, focusing on those most likely to be encountered in analytical laboratories.

The Eurachem Method Validation working Group is pleased to announce the publication of the third edition of the Guide The Fitness for Purpose of Analytical Methods. This third edition is a thorough revision of the 2014 edition and includes guidance on the importance of fitness for purpose, how to carry out validation and verification studies, a discussion of performance characteristics and related topics and much more.
The Guide: Quality Assurance for Research and Development and Non-routine Analysis is under review. As part of this process Eurachem is seeking feedback on particular challenges associated with quality assurance in a non-routine environment, and whether the Guide is still needed and should therefore be revised.
