Seminar: Measurement Uncertainties for Testing and Calibration
Our Seminar provides ready-to-use knowledge and documents for calculating the Measurement Uncertainties (MU) of test methods and test results. The various approaches presented during the lectures and exercises will enable the attendee to apply the concept beyond the methods discussed during the seminar.
The seminar starts July 21st and ends July 23rd 2014. Seminar language will be English.
