Introduction on the ISO Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM)

Estimating measurement uncertainty is one of the most challenging tasks that metrologists and calibration technicians face. This web seminar introduces you to the ISO Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM). This document was produced in 1993 in order to have a standard way to compute and communicate measurement uncertainty. All calibration laboratories around the world use the GUM method to estimate measurement uncertainty. We’ll provide information on the history of the GUM’s development and the fundamental concepts of the GUM. This web seminar is intended for calibration technicians, new metrologists or metrology engineers. The information presented serves as a prerequisite to other web seminars that present measurement uncertainty analyses for specific calibration applications.
