Short course
Metrology
An overview of the basics of Chemical Measurement Science will be given. Concepts related to measurement traceability, comparability and uncertainty will be discussed. Efforts related to standardization in measurement science will be presented including ISO 17025/ 17034 (standards related to the competence of analytical laboratories and certified reference material producers). Practical examples of creating and using certified reference materials (CRMs) for method development and validation will be given. A short update on the status of redefinition of the chemical unit mole will be given.
