Measurement Uncertainty Applications

Measurement Uncertainty Applications

  • Start Date : 9 February, 2027
  • Start Time : 8:00am
  • End Date : 9 February, 2027
  • End Time : 5:00pm
  • Address : Salon IV, N Tower

This workshop provides clear instructions on developing a measurement uncertainty budget compliant to JCGM100 to meet requirements of ISO/IEC17025. An electrical example will be used to develop an uncertainty budget using the Excel Measurement uncertainty template developed in the Excel Applications class. Example developed using DC Volatge parameter will be used to generate a sample measurement uncertainty budget for laboratory’s standards and for reporting on their Scope of Accreditation (CMC) and reporting customer’s calibration uncertainty per ILAC P14 requirements. Tools for developing decision rules for making statements of conformity will be shared. 

Participant are encouraged to bring their laptops with Excel or Google spreadsheet installed for hands-on experience. 

Learning Objectives and outcome for this workshop are: 

  • Understanding the Measurement Uncertainty Process. 
  • Ensuring that metrological traceability is maintained. 
  • Developing and understanding statistical tools for in the application of measurement uncertainty process per JCGM 100. 
  • Developing tools and methods for reporting customer’s measurement uncertainty per ILAC P14 guidelines. 
  • Making statements of conformity.
