About the Program:
Many quality standards require companies to use ISO 17025 accredited laboratories for their calibration requirements. ISO 17025 requires an estimation of Measurement Uncertainty when performing calibration.

This presentation will introduce the beginner to the concept of using Measurement Uncertainty calculations in metrology and other related applications. The workshop will familiarize the user with the terminology used in Measurement Uncertainty and how it is applied.
