This course by live webinar using case studies and real scenarios provides participants with the knowledge and practical understanding to enable evaluation of NATA endorsed test certificates, and to determine ‘how real they are?’. The course explores the fundamentals of measurement uncertainty, calibration, metrological traceability and sampling uncertainty.
Delivered via Zoom
Over the 2 half days, you will understand how to read a test report, including NATA scopes, the use of endorsements, and decision rules. A key theme is how to detect malpractice in a report, whether it be fraudulent laboratory reporting or subsequent alteration within the supply chain. Participants are invited to attend an option workshop to explore key themes in more depth and ask any further questions.
