Conference Theme:

Metrology - The Process of Providing Good Measurements

The definition of metrology, from the simplest - The science of measurement, to the complex - The science of measurement for determination of conformance to technical requirements including the development of standards and systems for absolute and relative measurements; may need to be reconsidered in light of increased responsibilities for calibration laboratories.

Over the last decade, there has been a dramatic increase in the requirements applied to all levels of the international measurement system. Thanks, in large part, to national and international standards, standards and calibration laboratories in particular have had to consider becoming both registered [ISO 9000] and accredited [ISO 17025]. Even National Metrology Institutes must implement a full quality program. No longer is it enough to just concentrate on providing a good, traceable measurement; metrologists must also be concerned with training, documentation, metrics, customers, complaints, etc., as well as the political and legal aspects of metrology.

It is important even with all of the new requirements that metrologists not lose sight of the primary responsibility of the laboratory - to provide good measurements to their customers. Join us in Salt Lake City for the 2004 NCSL International Workshop & Symposium to discuss this and many other issues facing the metrology community. Submit an abstract and write a paper, host a session, present a workshop or attend a committee meeting; take advantage of the opportunity to participate in exchanging ideas with colleagues from around the world.

The 2004 Conference is intended to provide a forum for those involved across the entire spectrum of metrology and will provide a unique opportunity to network with other measurement professionals.

Please join us in Salt Lake City, UT prepared to learn, to teach and to develop new professional relationships with your fellow "Metrologist."
