“…The vision of the TrainMiC ® programme is to improve the quality of analytical results by promoting and providing a European-wide harmonised training in Metrology in Chemistry via a network of national providers sharing resources (materials, training processes). [5,6] In this way, it forms an open way of European collaboration. IRMM as a European institute offers coordination and provides assistance only for the European 'layer of activities' as explained further on.…”

“…At the European level, the key processes are the running of a management board and the operation of an editorial board. [5] The Management Board ensures the quality of the TrainMiC ® products and related activities and for this creates appropriate procedures, it sets quality criteria (e.g. for teaching material, events and trainers) and manages the operation of TrainMiC ® via a Quality Manual.…”

“…The Editorial Board designs and maintains -via annual revision -the harmonised teaching material. [5,7] It is composed of persons actively involved in training and with the necessary educational background in metrology in chemistry. Via such a combined European effort, material is produced that does not reflect the opinion of a set of individuals, but integrates knowledge across many countries and sectors.…”

The TrainMiC® (Training in Metrology in Chemistry) programme is a European programme for Life-Long Learning in metrology in chemistry, which is a truly unique system operational across many parts of Europe (19 countries) via national teams. It uses shareware pedagogic tools and the learning content has been harmonised at the European level by a joint effort of many experts across Europe working via an Editorial Board. This paper gives an overview of the activities within the TrainMiC® programme where there is an interaction with national accreditation bodies and the European Cooperation for Accreditation. It is the responsibility of the accreditation bodies to ensure that outcome of the assessments is reliable and transparent and is meeting the relevant requirements. The paper explains the potential of TrainMiC® in providing a tool for accreditation bodies to ensure a harmonised level of knowledge in a specific sector of those who are involved in technical assessments for accreditation in the field of chemical measurements. Some use the word inter-calibration to describe this process.
