Course Description

For many years, measurement uncertainty calculations have been a requirement in ISO 17025 accredited laboratories. The USP has introduced these ISO concepts into USP General Chapter <1010>; Analytical Data—Interpretation And Treatment and <1210> Statistical tools for Procedure Validation which will have a major impact on the pharmaceutical and related industries. The newly proposed USP General Chapter <1220> on Analytical Procedure Lifecycle includes the need to consider measurement uncertainty as part of ‘fitness for purpose’.
