520 3 _aIn the field of metrology, measurement uncertainty has a special place of its own since 'no measurement result is complete without explicit statement about its uncertainty'. Hence for all accredited laboratories, evaluation of measurement uncertainty is a mandatory requirement. The purpose of the book is to clarify the rationale behind certain assumptions or ideas in measurement uncertainty, present the concepts from practical perspective, help readers arrive at a realistic uncertainty figure and be a ready-reference handbook. The book can serve as a quick reference book on basic concepts in measurement uncertainty. The book is written in a manner so that practicing metrologists can open any chapter and start reading. The topics covered are applicable across all fields of scientific measurements.

545 _aSwanand Rishi graduated in electrical engineering with distinction in 1986, (with specialization in power electronics) from College of Engineering, Pune, India, and completed a Diploma in Business Management (DBM) with Gold medal in 1998. After graduation until 1995, Swanand worked in several manufacturing industries with products such as UPS/power conditioners, capacitors and lightning arrestors. In those companies, he served in various sections including Production, Quality, R&D, Testing and Marketing. He was instrumental in bringing down rejection of certain capacitors from over 40% down to 5% by radical changes in manufacturing process through measurement assurance and using QC tools. In a UPS manufacturing firm, he was project manager for supply of a unique UPS to India's ambitious missile system. Since 1995, Swanand has been with the Electronics Test & Development Centre (ETDC), Pune, India; a Test and Calibration laboratory under STQC Directorate, Ministry of Electronics & IT, Government of India. He was In-charge of the calibration lab when ETDC got its first accreditation in 2002 for electrical and thermal calibration and significantly contributed to establishing the quality system as per ISO/IEC 17025. Currently he is working as Head (QA & Training) in ETDC, Pune. Since 1998 he has taught in courses and seminars conducted by ETDC on calibration (electrical and thermal), laboratory management per ISO/IEC 17025, measurement uncertainty and certified calibration professional. He has published a few papers in national and international journals/conferences. He was also a faculty member for contact-session courses on the Statistical Process Control (SPC) for MS (Quality Management) programme for post-graduate students of Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pilani, India. He was a regular guest-lecturer in engineering colleges on subjects such as measurements, testing and calibration; QMS and was also an external project examiner. He was a member of 'Syllabus Review committee' for engineering courses and is also an ISO 9000 Lead Assessor.
