The revised Metrology Technician standard and End Point Assessment (EPA) plan have been published on the IfATE website. 

This course provides a practical approach to evaluating uncertainty in testing laboratories which is in line with the ISO principles for uncertainty estimation and current accreditation requirements.

This lively and interactive three-day course is designed to help delegates develop their understanding of how the business and management processes of laboratories can be combined effectively with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017.

This course – delivered over one day in the classroom or two days online – is designed to help delegates to understand some of the most important statistical concepts used by analytical scientists, calculate the most common statistics, apply significance testing and use linear regression in calibration.

This two-day course provides delegates with an appreciation of the requirements of ISO/IEC 17020 and related UK and international guidance, and its application to accreditation for various types of inspection activity.

This course builds on the topics covered in the ‘Statistics for analytical scientists’ course and includes some more advanced statistical tools.

ISO/IEC 17029 is the International Standard for conformity assessment of bodies providing validation and verification services.

Delegates taking this course will gain robust understanding of the laboratory management requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and be able to identify the various responsibilities for overall laboratory management.

Delegates taking this course will gain robust understanding of the laboratory management requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and be able to identify the various responsibilities for overall laboratory management.

Delegates will learn to apply the accreditation standard for the certification of products, processes or services in order to provide confidence that they comply with specified requirements.

Method validation is the process that provides evidence that a test method is capable of producing results that are suitable for a particular application. This course is primarily designed for analysts and laboratory managers in the analytical chemistry and related sectors.
