It is vital that staff working in the chemical analysis of food have a good understanding of ‘uncertainty of measurement’. It allows meaningful comparison of results against reference values or standards, for legislative purposes and it is also a requirement of ISO 17025. Consequently, safefood organised one-day workshops on analytical uncertainty of measurement in Belfast, Cork, and Dublin in June 2018. The workshops introduced concepts, terminology, and sources of information, along with tools for generating uncertainty estimates and insight into how best to interpret and report results using uncertainty of measurement. These workshops were attended by 48 laboratory staff across the island of Ireland and the feedback was very positive.
