As the Commission's in-house science service,
the Joint Research Centre's mission is to provide
EU policies with independent, evidence-based
scientific and technical support throughout the whole
policy cycle.
Working in close cooperation with policy DirectoratesGeneral, the JRC addresses key societal challenges
while stimulating innovation through developing new
methods, tools and standards, and sharing its knowhow with the Member States, the scientific
community and international partners.

Metrology in Chemistry –Training of experts to become TrainMiC® Authorised Trainers
30 September, 1 - 2 October, 2014
Aim
This event aims to provide an opportunity for experts
to become TrainMiC® Authorised Trainers on how to
interpret the metrological requirements of the
ISO/IEC-17025 for chemical and bio-analytical
measurements. By so doing a cascade effect of the
training is ensured as newly authorised trainers can
join the pool of authorised trainers and provide their
own training events to laboratory practitioners in
different sectors and in different countries, thus
contributing to improved quality of analytical results.
Who should attend?
Expert practitioners of analytical science involved in
lifelong learning and knowledge transfer activities
from
national metrology institutes, research
organisations, control laboratories, universities (postgrad and staff), other institutes (accreditation bodies,
standards institutes…) and industry.
Prerequisites
Working knowledge of English is required (both
written and spoken).
In preparation for the training course, participants
are requested to refresh (or familiarise themselves
with) the ISO/IEC 17025 standard.
Practical information
Should you want to become an authorised TrainMiC®
trainer please send your CV and motivation letter to
jrc-irmm-trainmic@ec.europa.eu
TrainMiC® teaching material
TrainMiC® training material consists of nine
presentations, a growing library of practical
examples and mini-case studies. All TrainMiC®
material is copyright European Commission and is
freely available via TrainMiC® website.
TrainMiC® presentations:
- Introduction to metrology in chemistry;
- Traceability of measurement results;
- Single laboratory validation of measurement
procedures;
- Uncertainty of measurement;
- Statistics for analytical chemistry;
- Selection and use of reference materials;
- Interlaboratory comparisons;
- Internal quality control;
-Sampling as a part of measurement procedure.
TrainMiC® examples complement the presentations
and are practical exercises for different areas of
application based on practical case studies.
Benefits of being an authorised TrainMiC®
trainer
