Measurement Uncertainty (MU) has many uses and is an important component of a laboratory’s activities. This course will present the basics for evaluating measurement uncertainty.

At the end of the course, you will know how to use uncertainty and evaluate it efficiently. 

This is a one-day course that is split over two half-days.

Participants require access to a computer and a microphone in order to take this training. A headset with microphone is highly recommended. A webcam is recommended, but not required. This is a virtual course. Please note: Only 1 participant per registration. Contact training@cala.ca (613-233-5300) for group training options.

This course covers:

• What MU is
• The multiple uses of MU
• The Types & Categories of Methods (physical, qualitative, chemical) & how they relate to MU
• Some statistical tools used to estimate MU
• How to Evaluate MU
• Identify the measurand
• List the steps in the analytical process
• Identify potential uncertainty components
• Estimate uncertainty for each source
• Combine the uncertainty estimates
• Understand the relation between MU & Metrological Traceability

This course uses EXCEL charts and simulated experiments to demonstrate the concepts and statistical tools.
