This page collects information on the development of the joint project "Standard Electrochemical Methods applied for Detection, Analysis and Control", originally submitted as an Expression of Intent within the VI Framework Program of Resarch and Development of the European Community




RESUME
The development of trade, technology and research, and environmental and public health strategies, depend on chemical analysis. Efforts are necessary for the harmonisation of analytical procedures. Standard test methods with solid theoretical background should be established and technically implemented for affordable field-measurement services. Among areas of priority, electrochemical analysis is a key to the strengthening of international traceability in chemistry. In addition, it is widely applied in the control of food quality and safety, and in the monitoring of environment, health care, industrial processes and materials production. This network is directed at enhancing the scientific and technological quality of electrochemical methods, to support industry's competitiveness and the quality of life in Europe by ensuring accuracy, sensitivity, selectivity and traceability to SI of measurements.

Topics

Electrochemical Analysis
Metrology in Chemistry: Primary Methods, Secondary Methods, Reference Materials
Traceable Chemical Caharacterisation of Aqueous/Aqueous-Alcoholic Systems
Water Quality and Safety, for Food/Beverage and Environmental Analysis
Field Applications
