Description

Uncertainty of Measurement and Decision Rule as per ISO/IEC 17025:2017

Master the Critical Skills for Metrological Traceability and Conformity Statements

 

In the world of testing and calibration, a measurement result is incomplete without a statement of its uncertainty. As mandated by ISO/IEC 17025:2017, laboratories must not only estimate measurement uncertainty but also apply documented decision rules when providing statements of conformity. This specialized course is your definitive guide to understanding, estimating, and applying measurement uncertainty while implementing robust decision rules that account for risks of false acceptance and rejection. Through practical exercises and comprehensive case studies, you will gain the expertise to ensure your laboratory's results are technically sound and legally defensible.

 

What You Will Learn

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Understand the Core Concepts of measurement uncertainty, accuracy, and precision and their importance in laboratory results.

  • Apply a Step-by-Step Methodology to estimate measurement uncertainty in testing and calibration processes.

  • Interpret Measurement Uncertainty data correctly to support valid technical decisions.

  • Develop and Document Decision Rules that consider the level of risk and measurement uncertainty.

  • Formulate Defensible Statements of Conformity in test and calibration reports.

  • Apply Knowledge Practically through hands-on workshops and real-world case studies that address common laboratory challenges.
