Benefits of attending

This course provides practical guidance on how to apply the new requirements for ISO19036: Microbiology of the food chain – Estimation of measurement uncertainty for quantitative determinations.  Campden BRI has been heavily involved with the development of this new standard and will structure the content on the requirements in the DIS  (Draft International Standard) or FDIS if published, and any future changes.  It is expected that this standard will be required by accreditation bodies to fulfil ISO 17025:2015  Course attendees will receive an Excel workbook implementing all the calculations in the draft standard.

This course is designed for senior microbiologists, senior laboratory personnel, and technical managers wishing to under-pin and further their knowledge of measurement uncertainty.
