The 34th SMIIC MC Training within the SMIIC MC Work Plan 2024 – 2026 V3 was the The Training in Common Electrical Calibrations and Associated Uncertainties  on the 03-04 June 2026 virtually, technically hosted by SMIIC General Secretariat. 27 experts participated in the training.

The training was hosted by NMI:  Emirates Metrology Institue (EMI) 

General Description: This training provides essential knowledge and practical understanding of common electrical calibration techniques and the associated evaluation of measurement uncertainties. The course covers calibration principles for widely used electrical quantities and instruments, emphasizing traceability to the International System of Units (SI) and uncertainty estimation.

Objective, expected outcome: It equips participants with the fundamental concepts and practical approaches required to perform common electrical calibrations and evaluate associated measurement uncertainties

Who should attend: This course is designed for metrologists, calibration engineers, laboratory personnel, and technical staff working in national metrology institutes and calibration laboratories.
