It is now widely recognised that the evaluation of the uncertainty associated with a result is essential. Without the knowledge of measurement uncertainty, the results cannot be considered complete. Dr Teo Tang Lin The objective of this course is to provide a deeper appreciation of the approaches in estimating of measurement uncertainty. This Workshop will include a hands-on session so as to equip the participants with both the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement uncertainty. Dr Teo Tang Lin received her PhD degree at the National University of Singapore in 2007, and has 6 years of experience in organic chemistry with expertise covering organic synthesis, and chemicals characterization using NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and chromatography. Tang Lin’s work in CML focuses on the development of capabilities for the measurement of non-permitted additives and preservatives in food matrices using high accuracy methods, and purity assessment of organic chemicals as reference standards. Course Outline 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Measurement Uncertainty & Reasons for Estimating Measurement Uncertainty Measurement Errors & Propagation of Random Errors Degree of Freedom Probability Distribution Function ` Confidence Intervals & Significance Testing Overview of Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) Step-by-step using GUM approach Overview of ISO 21748 Approach in Estimating of Measurement Uncertainty Step-by-step using ISO 21748 Metrological Traceability Note: Participants would need to bring along scientific calculators and laptops for the practical session. Tang Lin received training in the estimation of measurement uncertainty (MU) during her training attachment at the National Measurement Institute of Australia Ms Cheow Pui Sze Pui Sze graduated with Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree and Master of Science (Chemistry) degree from the National University of Singapore. Ms Cheow is a Scientist of the Organic Chemistry Section of the Chemical Metrology Laboratory (CML), Applied Sciences Group (ASG), HSA. In April 2009, she has completed a Measurement Uncertainty (MU) Train-the-Trainer course organized by the Asia Pacific Metrology Programme Technical Committee of Amount of Substance (APMP TCQM). Since then, Pui Sze has conducted a number of measurement uncertainty courses for the ASG laboratories within HSA and is involved in determining the measurement uncertainty of comparative studies undertaken by the CML Who should Attend This course is designed for all laboratory managers and personnel involved in Civil Engineering Testing. All applicant and accredited laboratories from the Civil Engineering Testing field are encouraged to attend. Award of certificate A certificate of attendance will be issued to participants who have completed the course.
