| Abstract: |
Over the past several years NCSLI has hosted a series of panel sessions on (metrological) traceability that first focused on issues at or near the National Metrology Institute (NMI) level of the traceability chain, and then moved to cover issues at the Industrial Metrology level. Based on discussion at last year’s sessions, it was decided that a session would be useful that focused on how to assess and demonstrate metrological traceability for a measuring system that is comprised of component modules. Another focus topic proposed was special considerations to keep in mind when measurements are performed for personal safety. Both of these topics will be given particular attention at this year’s session. If time permits, new issues will also be identified and discussed. The format will continue as an open forum in which the panelists will first present a short opening statement about traceability issues they face with respect to their Committees, and how they are addressing those issues, in particular with respect to the focus topics. The panel will then respond to audience questions and comments. As before, please come to this session to ask questions, raise issues and share your traceability experiences from an industrial perspective. We look forward to seeing you there! NOTE: Definition of “metrological traceability” from the recently published International Vocabulary of Metrology – Basic and General Concepts and Associated Terms (VIM), ISO, 2007: “property of a measurement result whereby the result can be related to a reference through a documented unbroken chain of calibrations, each contributing to the measurement uncertainty”. DISCLAIMER: The discussion at this panel session should not be construed to represent the current policy of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. |
