Details

More regulatory agencies are now specifying requirements for test and calibration results to be supported by Traceability of Measurement that conforms to ILAC P10. Regulators now believe that Traceability of Measurement is a fundamental concept for the results they receive in support of either policy development or enforcement.

In order to continue to serve their markets, laboratories must be accredited and even those that are not must demonstrate competence in Traceability, Calibration and Uncertainty of Measurement. Besides these being knowledge requirements for accreditation, they are specified in regulations that do not yet demand accreditation.

  • Does your laboratory understand Traceability of Measurement?
  • Does your laboratory understand the Traceability components of Calibration and Uncertainty?
  • Can you demonstrate the competent propagation of Uncertainties that is the process of Calibration?

This course is about the basic approaches used by testing laboratories to establish Traceability of Measurement by estimating the uncertainties for tests and internal calibrations. This two-day course examines the requirements and policies that underlie the need from regulators for traceability and the uncertainties associated with tests and internal calibrations as defined by ISO/IEC 17025. It is based on the system and technical requirements of that standard. It contains easy-to-understand approaches to preparing and estimating all contributions to the overall uncertainties associated with accredited tests and calibrations.

The course teaches testing laboratory participants to competently propagate uncertainties for mass, temperature, and volume during the conduct of internal calibration of these devices in the their own laboratory. Uncertainties in the range of parts-per-ten to parts-per-thousand are feasible – the smallest calibration uncertainties that can normally be propagated in a testing lab. Participants will learn to establish traceability of measurement as defined by the International Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement and International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation Guide for Traceability of Measurement (ILAC P10).

Participants will use materials related to basic measurement instrument calibration and will receive tools to estimate uncertainties during the training and thereafter. They will examine the underlying principles and concepts. They will understand the requirements and they will practice the methods.

Outline

Learning Objectives:

Upon completing this course participants should:

  • understand the traceability, calibration and uncertainty requirements from ISO/IEC 17025;
  • understand the basic concepts surrounding traceability, calibration, and uncertainty;
  • understand the basic approaches to estimating uncertainties of measurement;
  • understand the concept of data models;
  • identify the contributors of uncertainty associated with tests and calibrations;
  • identify the steps to be taken in estimating uncertainties for most basic types of measurements;
  • conduct estimations of uncertainty for the measurements conducted in their own laboratory.
  • appreciate the science behind the approaches to be used in internal calibration;
  • understand the requirements for estimating uncertainties for internal calibration;
  • understand the processes to be followed for internal calibration, and
  • demonstrate an ability to propagate uncertainties in internal calibration

Speaker/s

J.E.J. (Ned) Gravel
Educator, Laboratory Assessor, Accreditation Expert, Professional Accreditation Body Lead Evaluator

Ned Gravel is a facilitator of cultural change within laboratories and accreditation bodies. He understands best practice in QMS and voluntary conformity assessment. Within the international accreditation community, he is respected for his knowledge and the credibility of his work in the recognition programs that define accreditation body MLAs and MRAs. Ned is a certified lead assessor within one of the Exemplar Global assessor certification programs he helped create. He is a certified association executive (Canadian Society for Association Executives). Besides laboratory quality system training, laboratory assessor training, and international peer evaluator training within APLAC and IAAC, Ned also spent three years as the ILAC liaison delegate to ISO/TC 176 and understands the challenges of management system certification. Here, Ned is surrounded by the graduates of his ISO/IEC 17011 course for new staff of APLAC member accreditation bodies.

Ned is a licensed engineer, his background also includes the command of operational military organisations in specific technical fields and the civilian management of international technical businesses.

Business experience includes management and marketing of national laboratory accreditation programs, management of laboratories, facilitated training, and the negotiation of international agreements in support of trade. Ned was Canada's delegate to the ISO/CASCO committee for the creation and amendment of ISO/IEC 17025. Here, Ned receives his certificate of recognition as an APLAC Lead Evaluator from Mr. Terrence Chan, APLAC Chair, 2005 - 2011.
