Conference Description:

This training program will discuss the concept and application of uncertainty of measurement (MU) as required by ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2005 for laboratory accreditation, from a practical microbiological perspective, using unambiguous language and useful examples.

Laboratories are often confused about the uncertainty of measurement (MU). Further ambiguity on the subject arises as to:

>. What is needed to meet the ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2005 requirements?
>. What data should be collected?
>. How to analyze the data?
>. This course will address these questions and discuss a practical step by step approach specifically applicable to microbiology

Areas Covered in the Session :

>. Statistical approaches to measuring precision
>. Using precision of a method for calculating MU
>. MU and MPN methods
>. How to make practical use of MU data
>. Applying MU concepts to qualitative methods

Who Should Attend:

>. Microbiological bench analysts
>. QA managers
>. Laboratory managers/supervisors
>. QC practitioners
>. Food companies who rely on microbiological criteria for estimating risk
