VDA 5 – Capability of Measurement Processes

  • This two-day training covers all topics related to test process suitability according to VDA Volume 5.
  • Various standards and guidelines contain requirements to determine and account uncertainties measurement. Thus, organizations are confronted with many questions upon establishing and certifying their quality management system.
  • VDA Volume 5 describes how to comply with these requirements: e.g. by correct selection of test equipment, internal determination of calibration uncertainty or continuous monitoring of test processes.
