This is a foundation course in the measurement uncertainty concept. It describes how to evaluate a measurement uncertainty in more complex cases based on the GUM method (NF ISO / IEC Guide 98-3). In comparison with IN02, this course further develops knowledge in how to apply the law of propagation and its limits in cases using indirect measurement.
This course is designed for employees seeking to learn how to calculate measurement uncertainties, who may be tasked with evaluating measurement uncertainties in complex cases involving indirect measurement (application of the law of propagation of uncertainty.
By the end of the course, the participant will understand and know how to use the measurement uncertainty concept. They will be able to evaluate a measurement uncertainty for cases involving indirect measurement (law of propagation of uncertainty) and submit a standards-compliant report (GUM NF ISO/CEI Guide 98-3). They will be able to read an existing uncertainty budget and make critical observations on the method used.
