Standards for Metrological Traceability
Course Description:
Metrological traceability in forensic toxicology refers to the ability to trace measurements and results obtained in a forensic test back to a recognized standard or reference. This course focuses on practices and standards for metrological traceability identified in ANSI/ASB Standard 017.
Participants will explore key concepts within the standard and learn about the processes for ensuring metrological traceability. The course also aims to inform the forensic toxicology community about the importance of standardization and provide practical examples for implementation. Learners can expect to gain a deeper understanding of the standardization processes and the collaborative efforts involved in developing forensic toxicology standards.
