A new software package for measurement uncertainty calculation called MUkit (shortcut from: Measurement Uncertainty kit) has been recently made available by SYKE, the Finnish Environmental Administration. This is the first software package that offers direct support for laboratories in measurement uncertainty evaluation according to the increasingly popular Nordtest approach of measurement uncertainty estimation.

The MUkit software is freeware and is available for download free of charge from the SYKE ENVICAL website. The capabilities of the software are described in the users manual available from the same website as well as in the recently published article Software support for the Nordtest method of measurement uncertainty evaluation. Teemu Näykki, Atte Virtanen, Ivo Leito Accred. Qual. Assur. 2012.

Any feedback on the use of the software is most welcome!
