Measurement Uncertainty Training Explains ISO/IEC Requirements

Attendees of the International Accreditation Service (IAS) Uncertainty in Measurements (MU) training programs in Las Vegas and Dubai, United Arab Emirates, learned critical uncertainty measurement processes and procedures. IAS staff metrologist B. N. Taranath, former head of Precision Engineering for the Central Manufacturing Technology Institute and an acknowledged expert in the field of precision measurements and metrology, taught the two-day courses.

Throughout the two-day course in Las Vegas, Taranath reviewed ISO/IEC 17025 requirements concerning MU, as well as new interpretations of ANSI/NCSL standard guidelines. The program included the first-ever practical laboratory module—an innovative hands-on class that provided attendees with the tools to develop accurate uncertainty budgets.

Trainees from a variety of organizations representing testing and calibration laboratories, consulting organizations, and academia attended the IAS MU training class in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The two-day training included classroom-style lectures, followed by a hands-on workshop and group exercises. The course provided participants with a clear understanding of the requirements of ISO/IEC Standard 17025 for MU, as well as practical aspects of calculating the uncertainty budgets for a variety of testing and calibration disciplines. The participants were drawn from various countries in the Emirates region.
