Welcome to Eurachem, a network of organisations in Europe having the objective of establishing a system for the international traceability of chemical measurements and the promotion of good quality practices. It provides a forum for the discussion of common problems and for developing an informed and considered approach to both technical and policy issues. It provides a focus for analytical chemistry and quality related issues in Europe.

Owing to continuing uncertainty about global travel restrictions through 2023, Eurachem have regretfully decided to further defer the 10th Eurachem Workshop on Proficiency Testing in Analytical Chemistry, Microbiology and Laboratory Medicine.
The workshop will now be held in Windsor, UK, on 25-28 September 2023. We hope that this will make for a more useful and successful workshop for all the participants.
We are also pleased to say that registration for the 2023 event is now open on the conference website.
The second circular for the May 2022 Eurachem workshop on "Quality Assurance Challenges of Measurements from Field to Laboratory with a Focus on ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Requirements", hosted online by the Georgian Laboratory Association (GeLab), is now available. The second circular gives additional programme details and registration information.
The Eurachem Executive has made the following statement regarding the military action in Ukraine:
"The Eurachem Executive condemns war in any form and is deeply concerned and saddened by the invasion of Ukraine. Our thoughts are first and foremost for the safety of our colleagues in Ukraine and their families, but also with all members of the Eurachem community who are affected by the war.
We acknowledge that the current circumstances may hinder collaboration among our members. However, as a scientific community promoting the international agreement of measurement results, we recognise the importance of collaboration across borders and remain open to all members to continue to contribute to our aim of being a focus for analytical chemistry in Europe.
Vicki Barwick, Eurachem Chair On behalf of the Eurachem Executive Committee”
Thanks to our colleagues in Iran, the EEE-PT Working Group is pleased to announce a Farsi translation of the Information Leaflet on PT schemes for sampling. The leaflet gives guidance on the application of ISO/IEC 17043 for PT providers organising PT schemes for sampling.
The first circular for the May 2022 Eurachem workshop on "Quality Assurance Challenges of Measurements from Field to Laboratory with a Focus on ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Requirements", hosted online by the Georgian Laboratory Association (GeLab), is now available. The workshop will address current practices, challenges, and future recommendations on quality assurance of physicochemical and microbiological measurement methods and their validation, including sampling-related issues.
