Course Objectives
The objective of this course is to introduce analysts to the basic concepts of the estimation of uncertainty of measurement. During the evaluation of the measurement uncertainty, the focus will be on the identification and quantification of individual uncertainty sources according to the principles of the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty of Measurement (GUM) (Type A and B evaluations). To combine these uncertainties into the final expanded measurement uncertainty, participants will be taught simplified approaches such as the use of relative uncertainties and method validation data. Throughout the course, participants will have the opportunity to practise what they have learnt with several classroom-based examples.
