Laboratory Instruments Calibrations and Troubleshooting Techniques Course
Introduction:
The first part of the course provides a general overview of the field of metrology and defines a few common concepts. The statistical ideas that are the foundation of contemporary metrology and calibration are then introduced. Next, statistical management ideas like Measurement Assurance Process (MAP) and Statistical Process Control (SPC) are introduced to the students.
Course Objectives:
The course will reviews in considerable depth the requirements imposed by ISO standard 17025. Its impact on all aspects of calibration laboratory management is analyzed clause by clause.
Who Should Attend?
This course is for individuals who are involved in standards and calibration laboratories and for others who want a clear understanding of the special requirements that must be met by managers and other personnel in standards and calibration work.
