The commutability of a material represents its ability to mimic the behaviour of patient samples. For IVD manufacturers, the use of commutable standards is recommended by ISO 17511:2020 because the use of non-commutable standards causes calibration bias. For external quality assessement schemes, the use of commutable quality control materials allows evaluating the accuracy and comparability of different methods.

European Directive 2008/50/EC mandates monitoring the particulates in ambient air and establishes quality objectives. Moreover, the exposure of workers and the general public due to inhalation of particulates has become a more major concern. In this context, it is now necessary to proceed with characterizations of particulates in aerosol form.

European directives have established quality objectives for purposes of monitoring the environment, air and water. In response to these directives, more extensive use is being made of online instruments, whose performance still needs to be evaluated prior to deployment. In this context, LNE is on hand to guide these kinds of performance evaluations.

Satisfying regulatory requirements or completing an accreditation or certification process necessitates verifying the performance of your equipment. Your temperature generators are characterized at your facility and in accordance with your set of specifications.

Thermography, a quick and simple imaging technique, serves to determine remotely and contact-free the temperature of a given object. When applied to a city, this technique is used to identify, for each building (whether public or private) within a given zone, the amount of heat loss.
