This training program aims to provide users with a comprehensive understanding of the 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 combines theoretical knowledge on these topics with practical exercises, enabling participants to conduct assessments of homogeneity of reference materials, assess and monitor their stability, characterize property values, and evaluate uncertainties in accordance with ISO 17034:2016 requirements, based on the methods outlined in ISO Guide 35.
Designed for user convenience, the entire content and instructions are provided in easy-to-understand English. This course is particularly beneficial for those who prefer online learning from their home or workplace at their own pace. Upon successful completion of this training course, participants will be awarded a globally recognized training certificate.
CONTENT OF ASSESSMENT OF HOMOGENEITY & STABILITY TRAINING
This Assessment of Homogeneity & Stability, Characterization, Assignment of Property Values and Uncertainties training online course includes video tutorials recorded by highly experienced ISO consultants and trainers with vast experience in ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025 implementation and training across global laboratories, reference material producer companies, and other industries. For better understanding, handouts in PDF format are provided for easy downloading to the user’s device. The course also features online session exams and a final exam to assess the user’s knowledge of the subject.
- Videos: Online training video tutorials provide an overview of homogeneity, stability, assessment of homogeneity, assessment and monitoring of stability, and more. All essential sessions of this course are covered and delivered by an experienced tutor.
- Handouts: Handouts in PDF format for all four sessions of Assessment of Homogeneity & Stability, Characterization, Assignment of Property Values, and Uncertainties Training are provided to participants. These handouts can be downloaded, saved, and read offline for better understanding and future reference.
- Online Exams: Participants will need to clear all four session exams and one final exam as part of the course. After successfully completing the final exam, an auto-generated certificate will be issued and can be downloaded and printed from the dashboard.
