Sponsor or Organizer: A2LA - The American Association for Laboratory Accreditation

Description: The course is suitable for all personnel of both Calibration and Testing laboratories It follows the same approach which the A2LA has used over the past few years , except that the duration has been extended ( on request by a number of participants ) to 2 days.

Every effort is made to eliminate unnecessary complications, to apply the GUM at its simplest level and to take away apparent mystery . Participants who have never drawn up uncertainty budgets before usually develop the required skill well before the end of the class. Others who seek explanations of GUM complexities obtain clarifications expressed in simple terms . Measurement uncertainty problems are solved by brainstorming methods so as to generate interaction by all participants .
