Eurachem draft revised Uncertainty Guide released

The second edition of the EURACHEM/CITAC Guide for quantifying uncertainty in analytical measurements, published in 2000, is the most cited document in Metrology in Chemistry. The success of this document is based on the balance of the clarity and detail of technical discussions with the pragmatism of the proposed solutions for the evaluation of the measurement uncertainty. After a decade of developments supported on the principles presented and introduced by the EURACHEM/CITAC Guide, this document is being revised and updated to take account of new terminology and recent developments in measurement uncertainty evaluation.

To support discussion at the Eurachem/CITAC Workshop "Recent developments in Measurement Uncertainty", the Eurachem/CITAC measurement Uncertainty and Traceability Working Group have released a first discussion draft of the proposed revision of "Quantifying Uncertainty in Analytical measurement".

The draft Guide is available at http://eurachem.org/guides/pdf/QUAM2011_DIS1.pdf
