Abstract:
Abstract Nowadays if a laboratory wants to guarantee the quality of their results, their technical competence and to have an international reputation it requires the UNE1-EN2 ISO3/IEC4 17025 accreditation, which for simplicity is told ISO 17025. The main aim of this Project is to validate a method for the simultaneous determination of eleven metals in two different kind of water; Continental water and current drinking water.
