4. Setting up a metrological structure within the company
4.1 Analysis of metrological requirements and establishment of standards
Examination of the inventory of measuring instruments will enable us to group instruments according to the following 3 criteria:
physical quantity measured ;
measuring range ;
accuracy and loyalty.
An analysis of these groupings reveals four typical cases:
-
Single device
In most cases, it will not be necessary to purchase reference standards to calibrate this type of instrument. The simplest and most effective solution is to entrust the calibration of this instrument to a COFRAC-accredited...
