DSM at VSL
At VSL, the Data Science & Modelling (DSM) department focuses precisely on this field, where measurements, data and models together determine what is considered “true”.
Why Proficiency Testing Is Essential in a Data-Driven World
In a world where almost every important decision rests on data, it is crucial that different parties, even if they are on opposite sides of the globe, can arrive at comparable results.
Calibration of laboratory equipment: ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation in five steps
The international standard ISO/IEC 17025 demonstrates that a laboratory is technically competent to perform specific calibrations. For medical laboratories working under ISO 15189, the link is obvious: reliable, patient‑related results start with correctly calibrated equipment. Working with an ISO/IEC 17025‑accredited calibration lab safeguards accuracy, traceability and international recognition of measurement results.
Calibrating flowmeters for accurate measurement
Calibrating flowmeters for accurate measurement: even in the installation
Recently, my colleague and I separately spoke with two large production companies in the (petro)chemical industry. Both of them asked a similar question:
“Why should we have our flowmeters calibrated? They just stay in the installation, and we regularly do a check from the outside.”
