Traceability => measurements can be compared

• Under both repeatability and reproducibility

• Even different measurement quantities

Uncertainty => declared measurement quality

• ’Fit-for-purpose’

• Quantified risks of decision errors

Metrology – quality-assured measurement

This gives processes and products which have:

• Interoperability

• Improved communication

• Can be traded, are safe and lie within

specifications

(6)

Measurement is not an end in itself …

Measurement does give objective evidence to base

decisions on:

• control of manufacturing processes

• verifying and certifying products against specifications

• guaranteeing safety, security and protect the environment

Why measure? - Impact

(7)

Trade

National/international trade of

products and services

Demands reliable, unified and

sufficiently accurate measurement

systems

Manufacturing / production

Product quality depends on

measurement quality

Better products, enhanced

competitiveness

Less waste, sustainable production

Effectivisation

Health, safety & security

Reliable measurements in diagnosis

and medical treatment

Robust ICT

Reliable Nuclear fuel data

ICT

Synchronisation

Spectrum allocation

Environment

Objective measurement in

support of monitoring, conformity

assessment, risk & cost analysis

Why measure? - Impact

(9)

 Traditional areas of industry

- becoming more complex

- requiring broader measurement

ranges and lower uncertainties

Growing demand

for Metrology

NMI budgets limited

Need for collaboration

• New areas of technology

e.g. nano technology or biotechnology

‑

• Areas in which use of metrology is

increasingly recognised

e.g. chemistry, clinical analysis, food safety,

the Grand Challenges,…
