Validation of test (chemical analytical) methods is one of basic requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories (ISO 17025), and reference measurement laboratories in laboratory medicine (ISO 15195). The same is required by national regulators, such as U.S. Food and Drug Administration, UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, and others. There are a number of guidelines of different industries and chemical analytical societies, adapted these requirements for specific purposes and laboratories.

This workshop is organized as a satellite event of the Isranalytica Conference and Exhibition, 24-25 Jan 2017, Tel Aviv, Israel.

The first two workshops on human error, metrology and quality in analytical chemistry were organized successfully in cooperation with IUPAC in Tel Aviv 2013 and 2015, also in conjunction with Isranalytica. Reports are available in Chemistry International (2013) 35/3:30-31, and (2015) 37/3: 30-32. Also relevant, see IUPAC project 2014-027-1-500.
