Live Event
More than a result | untangling the analytical report
About this event
You receive an analytical report.
Results, accreditation, residue definitions, processing factors… The more you look, the more you see.
But, what might you be overlooking? Which nuances affect your risk assessment? And what if regulations evolve?
During our seminar, we take you deeper into the layers behind lab reports - practical and directly applicable to your daily work.
- what accreditation really means — and how to interpret it correctly
- how to compare lab results across laboratories and countries
- insight into certification processes
- how to deal with complex residue definitions and processing factors
- clarity on emerging topics such as 1,2,4-triazole and regulation
Registration possible until June, 12.
