Measurement Uncertainty –
Methodology according to ISO and VDA 5
Does your organization not only perform measurements, but also properly manage measurement equipment and reliably estimate measurement uncertainty in line with ISO and VDA requirements?
In practice, more and more organizations face challenges during audits or customer assessments because of gaps in equipment management processes or lack of documented measurement uncertainty. Today, a single measurement result is no longer sufficient – customers demand evidence of traceability, compliance, and reliable uncertainty budgets. Proper management of measurement equipment combined with a structured approach to uncertainty estimation is not just a formal requirement but also a way to reduce risk, improve decision-making, and build customer trust.
Training Program Highlights
Measurement Uncertainty
Current terms and definitions related to metrology and measurement uncertainty (VIM dictionary, ISO 14253-1).
Review of key guides: PKN-ISO/IEC Guide 98-1:2021-06, JCGM 100:2008, EA-4/02 M:2022.
Measurement errors and their sources, the measurement equation.
Probability distributions in uncertainty estimation.
Uncertainty budget according to EA-4/02 and ISO 14253-2.
Methods of estimating measurement uncertainty:
elimination or compensation of systematic errors,
calculation of standard uncertainty by type A method,
calculation of standard uncertainty by type B method,
calculation of combined uncertainty.
Expanded uncertainty.
Conformity assessment based on PN-EN ISO 14253-1:2018-02E, ISO/IEC Guide 98-4, ILAC-G8:09/2019.
Workshops – preparing uncertainty budgets and estimating uncertainty in practical examples.
Training objectives
The objective of this training is to provide participants with a practical understanding of how to manage measurement equipment in a modern organization and how to calculate, document, and interpret measurement uncertainty. Participants will learn how to develop calibration schedules, maintain traceability, build uncertainty budgets, and make compliance decisions in accordance with ISO, EA, and VDA 5 requirements.
