Cooperation quality-assured measurement

Secondary calibration lab Check standards

Working standards Uncertainty

(4)

Traceability means measurements can be

compared

:

• Under both repeatability and reproducibility • Even different measurement quantities

This gives processes and products which have :

• Interoperability

• Improved communication

• Can be traded, are safe and lie within specifications

(I) Quality-assured measurements in conformity assessment More work at pan-European level needed particularly in:

• Evaluation of measurement uncertainty – quantitative and qualitative, manufacturing and services

• Rules for compliancy - measurement uncertainty => risks of incorrect decisions • Fit for purpose metrology => optimised type testing and market surveillance

Role of quality-assured measurement in

conformity assessment

(III) Policy support, regulation, written standards and pre-normative Research & Innovation

Quality-assured measurement => development of both generic standards and sector-specific standards:

• Sometimes unrealistic and ambiguous measurement specifications and unclear requirements.

On other hand, industry and society place increasingly exacting demands:

• Meeting ‘grand challenges’ such as in energy & the environment, health & safety • Emergence of new technologies such as nano- and biotechnology.

Provide policy support/pre-normative R&D in context of conformity assessment

100+ organisations (NMI, DI) • employ about 4000 persons

• circa 2000 persons work on R&D activities • spending about 200 M€ per year (50% of total budget) on R&D activities
