Measurement Uncertainty Made Simple
Issued by
MAS Management Systems
Earners of this badge have developed the skills needed to effectively estimate Measurement Uncertainty in their lab. They understand the process of MU calculation and how it relates to Quality and Traceability. They know how to calculate combined and expanded uncertainties and deal with bias in their measurement process. They are also able to communicate their process and their work to an external assessment team.

Standards
ISO/IEC 17025 enables laboratories to demonstrate that they operate competently and generate valid results, thereby promoting confidence in their work both nationally and around the world. It also helps facilitate cooperation between laboratories and other bodies by generating wider acceptance of results between countries.
ISO 15189:2012 specifies requirements for quality and competence in medical laboratories. It can be used by medical laboratories in developing their quality management systems and assessing their own competence.
