Homogeneity and Stability Assessment Training

Assessment of Homogeneity & Stability, Characterization, Assignment of Property Values and Uncertainties Training – a certified online course that will provide you in-depth knowledge and understanding for assessment of homogeneity of reference materials, assessment and monitoring of their stability, characterization and assigning property values and their uncertainties in accordance with ISO 17034 and ISO Guide 35.

DESCRIPTION

This training program will help users to gain complete knowledge and understanding of assessment of homogeneity (both between unit homogeneity and within unit homogeneity), assessment and monitoring of stability (both long term stability and short term stability), characterization and assignment of property values and uncertainties of reference materials (RMs) and certified reference materials (CRMs).

This course blends theoretical knowledge on these topics and exercises to enable you to perform assessment of homogeneity of reference materials, assessment and monitoring of their stability, characterization and assignment of property values and their uncertainties in accordance with ISO 17034:2016 requirements based on the methods described in ISO Guide 35.

In this online technical course, consideration has been given to the convenience of participants. The entire content and instructions are provided in easy to understand English language. It will be extremely beneficial for those users or training participants, who prefer to learn online from their home or workplace at their own convenient time and get certified. After completion of this training course successfully, the participants will be awarded a training certificate having global recognition.
