Measurement Uncertainty – For All ISO-IEC 17025 Laboratory

What you’ll learn
Clear understanding of Basic Statistical Concepts.
Understanding a calibration or testing activity (including microbiological testing) in terms of mathematical model, to be able to identify the significant control factors for accuracy or validity of results.
Will be able to estimate measurement uncertainty for all Calibrations, Tests of the laboratory effectively, including microbiological testing, for which the methodology is significantly different.
Will be able to formulate effective Quality Control Plan for the laboratory utilizing the uncertainty of measurements and also can identify the scope of improvement in quality of result.
Will be able to apply “decision rule” utilizing the uncertainty of measurements, when it is required.
Requirements
Person should have a degree / diploma in science / engineering / technology.
Person should have some involvement in operational function of the laboratory (calibration / testing activity).
Person should be familiar with working in excel for making simple documentation, calculation, formatting etc.
An awareness of ISO/IEC 17025 standard would be added advantage.
Description
This course provides step by step understanding of the method of estimation of Measurement Uncertainty in Material Testing, Calibration and Microbiological Testing.

It is in line with the ISO Guide 98-3: 2008, which the Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement (GUM-1995). For Microbiological Testing, ISO 19036: 2019 – Microbiology of the food chain – Estimation of measurement uncertainty for quantitative determinations is followed in addition.

In the initial sections, basic understanding of STATISTICAL METHODS is provided in step by step manner so that a newcomer in the filed can also understand the subject.

Subsequent sections are elaborated along with EXAMPLES in EXCEL FILES (downloadable material), for giving a clear understanding an hands on practice on the activity.

The related subject, Conformity Statement and Decision Rule, which is a key requirement of ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory is explained in connection to measurement uncertainty in clear manner with example.

Overall, this subject which is viewed by laboratory practitioners as COMPLEX is made QUITE SIMPLE to understand and practicable for the participants.

Finally, a Quiz section is provided as SELF ASSESSMENT by the participants, to gain confidence on their learning from the course.

Who this course is for:
Technical Heads of testing and calibration laboratory, including microbiological testing.
Young engineers / scientists working in testing field and wants to enhance their career, with a formal added professional qualification and skill up-gradation.
Quality System Heads (Quality Managers) who formulates internal and external quality control plan and monitor effectiveness of the testing laboratory QMS.
Can be used for providing internal training to junior staffs of testing laboratory by casting these video training’s.
An individual working as consultant in ISO/IEC 17025 field.
