Comtest calibration user group seminar
August 2025
News
Comtest invites metrology and calibration professionals to a focused technical seminar series aimed at demystifying some of the most common hurdles in inter-laboratory comparisons (ILCs).
Presented by John Wilson of AMS, the seminar titled ‘Decision Rule, Specifications and ILC Review’ will unpack the complexities of decision rules, specification interpretation and uncertainty reporting in the context of ILCs. Real-world examples will be drawn from recent NLA ILCs involving a 6.5-digit digital multimeter (160) and an energy meter (152), highlighting lessons learned from common missteps.
Attendees will receive the following key takeaways:
• Understand ILC protocols and expectations
• Learn how to interpret decision rules and specifications accurately
• Analyse typical errors and how to avoid them in future comparisons.
As a bonus, a range of test and measurement equipment will be available for demonstration after the talk, and light refreshments will be served. Details are as follows:
