Wednesday, 31 August 2011 09:47 |
A new guide has been produced by members of the Eurachem Education and Training Working Group and others co-opted to the Project group for this task. This Eurachem Guide discusses a selection of the concepts in VIM 3 (International Vocabulary of Metrology), 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 .
The guide is intended for laboratory staff, accreditation bodies, for those commissioning measurements and for those using measurement results. Lecturers and trainers may also find this guide useful when teaching aspects of metrology.
Eurachem Guide is available here.

Thursday, 16 December 2010 18:36 |

European Co-operation for Accreditation (EA) has recently issued the Advisory Document EA-4/18: 2010 "Guidance on the level and frequency of proficiency testing participation". The aim of this paper is to promote harmonization between Accreditation Bodies on how the level and frequency of participation in PT is evaluated and to assist laboratories in determining their own levels and frequency of participation. Moreover, a number of case studies is provided to illustrate how a laboratory might review their scope of work and thus derive the number of sub-disciplines.
