• Understand the measurement uncertainty concept and learn how to use the related evaluation tools
  • Learn how to apply the uncertainty evaluation method (GUM and FD X07-021)
  • Model and build an uncertainty budget using the '5M’ method
  • Evaluate basic uncertainties using type A and type B methods
  • Calculate an expanded uncertainty
  • Apply the GUM (NF ISO / IEC Guide 98-3) to simple cases
  • Use measurement uncertainties and strategies for declaring conformity

This course is designed for employees wanting to learn how to evaluate measurement uncertainties in situations where they may have to do this in simple cases involving direct measurement, and how to apply the law of propagation of uncertainty (for more complex cases, refer to course IN03)

  • Basic maths skills
  • Basic Excel skills

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 in simple cases and submit a standards-compliant report (GUM NF ISO / IEC Guide 98-3). They will be able to read an existing uncertainty report and make critical observations on the method used
