Page 19: REGIONAL INSTRUMENT CENTRE: REVIEW AND STRENGTHENING Dr Jérôme DUVERNOY Jerome.Duvernoy@meteo.fr

19

Proposals

Laboratory– the necessary facilities– laboratory equipment– protected from direct solar radiation– stabilized temperature– Dust, fume, smoke should also be

prohibited– The infrastructure should be adapted to

the capabilities– and maintained

That is including building, workspace, hardware, software…

Page 20: REGIONAL INSTRUMENT CENTRE: REVIEW AND STRENGTHENING Dr Jérôme DUVERNOY Jerome.Duvernoy@meteo.fr

20

Strengthening

Apparatus– set of meteorological standard instruments– establish traceability– The systems should be adapted to uncertainty needed– The systems should be adapted to instruments to be calibrated

Page 21: REGIONAL INSTRUMENT CENTRE: REVIEW AND STRENGTHENING Dr Jérôme DUVERNOY Jerome.Duvernoy@meteo.fr

21

Strengthening

Staff

– qualified managerial

– Technical staff with necessary experience

Page 22: REGIONAL INSTRUMENT CENTRE: REVIEW AND STRENGTHENING Dr Jérôme DUVERNOY Jerome.Duvernoy@meteo.fr

22

Strengthening

Method– technical procedures

It is not necessary to develop its own technical revolutionary method

Classical method should be clearly adapted by the staff to the apparatus

Page 23: REGIONAL INSTRUMENT CENTRE: REVIEW AND STRENGTHENING Dr Jérôme DUVERNOY Jerome.Duvernoy@meteo.fr

23

Strengthening

Policy– sent to WMO – communicate to the staff – more communication with Members of the Region

the customer’s requirement should be determined and expressed.

So meetings are organized between RIC and customers

Page 24: REGIONAL INSTRUMENT CENTRE: REVIEW AND STRENGTHENING Dr Jérôme DUVERNOY Jerome.Duvernoy@meteo.fr

24

Strengthening

Cooperation– inter-laboratory comparisons

Page 25: REGIONAL INSTRUMENT CENTRE: REVIEW AND STRENGTHENING Dr Jérôme DUVERNOY Jerome.Duvernoy@meteo.fr

25

Strengthening

Quality– improvement factor– external assessment

Page 26: REGIONAL INSTRUMENT CENTRE: REVIEW AND STRENGTHENING Dr Jérôme DUVERNOY Jerome.Duvernoy@meteo.fr

26

Conclusion

2 level structure of the RICs:– basic capabilities– full capabilities

Page 27: REGIONAL INSTRUMENT CENTRE: REVIEW AND STRENGTHENING Dr Jérôme DUVERNOY Jerome.Duvernoy@meteo.fr

27

Conclusion

Specialization:– e.g., temperature measuring instruments– better utilization of resources and capabilities within a Region

Page 28: REGIONAL INSTRUMENT CENTRE: REVIEW AND STRENGTHENING Dr Jérôme DUVERNOY Jerome.Duvernoy@meteo.fr

28

Conclusion

Traceability– national laboratory– another country– RIC

Page 29: REGIONAL INSTRUMENT CENTRE: REVIEW AND STRENGTHENING Dr Jérôme DUVERNOY Jerome.Duvernoy@meteo.fr

29

Conclusion

Quality control and quality assurance:– calibration laboratory guide– quality assurance– technical procedure

Page 30: REGIONAL INSTRUMENT CENTRE: REVIEW AND STRENGTHENING Dr Jérôme DUVERNOY Jerome.Duvernoy@meteo.fr

30

Conclusion

International standards– ISO 9001:2000– ISO 17025

Page 31: REGIONAL INSTRUMENT CENTRE: REVIEW AND STRENGTHENING Dr Jérôme DUVERNOY Jerome.Duvernoy@meteo.fr

31

Conclusion

Regular assessment– A review of the RICs at each Regional Association session– Assessment by an external body

• (certification or accreditation body, WMO…)
