The objective of Measurement Uncertainty is to:
- Remove the mystique surrounding the concept of Measurement Uncertainty;
- Promote a practical methodology, based on GUM requirements to calculate measurement uncertainty over the working range of the method; and
- Promote acceptable forms of expression of Measurement Uncertainty associated with any results.
The objective of the Validation & Verifications of Methods is to :
- Bring the participants from fundamental principles of descriptive statistics with the emphasis on hypothesis testing for the determination and verification on:
- Trueness (Bias)
- Precision
- Linearity of calibration curves
- Working Range
- Selectivity/specificity
- Ruggedness & Robustness
- Sensitivity
- Limit of Quantification
- Limit of Detection
- Create an understanding of the requirement of validation and verification and their respective applications in terms of both ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 15189
- Ability to design a validation or verification programme
Who Should Attend?
Laboratory personnel and Assessors who have a fundamental grasp of statistics and Maths. Participants need not have an advanced knowledge of statistics but should have a fundamental background in Maths. Participants must be willing to actively participate in discussions and resolution of validation/ verification examples. To participate in the Measurement Uncertainty part, one should have attended and successfully completed the Validation & Verification of Method component.
