The Webinar will discuss the concept and application of uncertainty of measurement (MU) as required by ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2005 for laboratory accreditation, from a practical microbiological perspective, using unambiguous language with useful examples. Many laboratories are confused about what MU is and what is needed to meet the requirement, including, what data to collect and how to analyze it. A practical step by step approach specifically applicable to microbiology will be discussed.
