Welcome readers…
This is the second of our quarterly BMTA newsletters,
aimed at providing a greater depth of information and
richer insight into specific areas of interest.
This issue features articles on data processing and
storage, sampling methods for characterising volatile
organic compounds emitted from medical devices and
standards with an aid to child safety.
The next theme for our Spring 2020 issue is:
BMTA - the Voice of Measurement
and Testing
BMTA was created in 1990 in response to the need for
an independent ‘lobby’ for the private sector to speak
with one voice to Government, UKAS, BSI and other
official bodies on issues affecting the whole
measurement and testing community.
BMTA represents the interests of the measurement
and testing industry in the UK and in Europe, through
its representation on EUROLAB, the voice for
laboratories in Europe.
We encourage you to make your views known in the
standards making process, through the Association
and individual membership of relevant committees.
We work to increase awareness of the measurement
and testing industry, and provide training, through
seminars and workshops, on topical subjects.
the challenges and opportunities of digital
technologies on the world of measurement and
testing (AI, AR, VR etc).
To help us provide our BMTA members with useful
information we would like your help to:
identify and share relevant topics;
provide research on new technologies or
techniques;
let us know industry news;
promote events and training sessions;
inform us of publications you think may be of
interest to your fellow BMTA members.
Equally, should your business produce any
information, white papers or interviews that you
would like to share, please submit this to
[email protected].
