Can some of those be solved by the expertise
available at the national level?
Reference values and
developing new
measurement procedures

Reference values and
developing new measurement procedures
Reference values
� Traceability
� External quality assurance
� Internal quality control
Developing new measurement procedures

Reference value for traceability dissemination
� Problem
Measurement uncertainty: ±1°C.
In medicine, the requirement is ±0,1°C.
� Solution
� Research (2002-2004): the required uncertainty achieved
� PhD
� Patent
� 3 scientific publications
� Participation in expert group for drafting international ISO standard for thermometers in medicine.

Reference value for a PT
� Problem
�According to new legislation, conformity assessment of
50% of all articles from precious metal alloys is done by
private laboratories
� MIRS has overall responsibility
� Solution
� PT scheme has been set up
� MIRS is providing a reference value for PT

Reference value for internal quality control
� Problem
Price of titanium(IV) oxide white
pigment depends on its properties,
which are regularly measured and
globaly compared. There is no
adequate internal quality control
material available.

8
Reference value for internal quality control
� Solution
� Study of homogeneity and stability
� Establishing of reference values for various parameters of
titanium(IV) oxide white pigment sample and evaluation of
their measurement uncertainties

New measurement procedures:
Large upright tanks
�Problem:
�High number of measurements
�Repetitive actions
�Difficult working conditions – inside tank

R&R: Automation - Large upright tanks
�Solution:
�Automation of standard ISO 7507-3 measuring method with
LabView and robotised Leica teodolith
�Use of wireless comunication
Robotisation
Wireless
control

Raising competence in laboratories
e.g. for mass measurements:
�Calibration of weights
�Calibration of weighing instruments
�Verification of weighing instruments
�Measurement uncertainty
�Quality management system
�Problem:
A lot of measurements, which used to be done by a metrology
institute, are now on-going in private and public laboratories

Raising competence in laboratories
Training methods:
�International standards and guidelines
�Laboratory work
�Hands-on training
�On-field work
�Discusion
�Solution:
�Organising tailor-made training courses for experts from
laboratories as well as for the users of measurement results
