ISO17025 also requires laboratories to produce uncertainty budgets for each accredited test. The workshop aims to dispel some of the myths of uncertainties and show, practically, how relevant uncertainty budgets can be calculated.   PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: The course aims to provide delegates with an understanding of the validation, verification and measurement uncertainty requirements placed on EMC laboratories by ISO17025. It should also enable delegates to implement validation and verification systems and enable delegates to develop measurement uncertainty budgets.   WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This workshop will be of particular interest to engineers working in accredited laboratories, working in a laboratory aspiring to be accredited or those simply wishing to reduce the risk of invalid measurements being produced.     PROGRAM OUTLINES: Introduction to ISO17025 The need to calibrate test equipment Validating test equipment and methods Reducing the risk through verification Introduction to measurement uncertainty in EMC testing Application of uncertainty to emission tests Application of uncertainty to immunity tests
