The Challenge of Measurement Interoperability

Considerable effort is currently being expended in attempting to provide the confidence that measurements made in one location in the world are equivalent to those made in other locations on the same or related products. This is the challenge of measurement operability, which means measurements are repeatable, comparable, and traceable to both international and national standards.

Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRA), Memorandums of Understanding (MOU), Accreditation Procedures, Audit Processes, Standards Intercomparisons, Measurement Assurance Programs (MAP), and other techniques are all involved in attempting to support and validate such efforts.

Various national and international documentary standards, domestic regulations and technical guidelines provide the core requirements for the establishment and maintenance of a metrology and guidance and instructions for achieving and maintaining quality measurements using measuring and test equipment plus the supporting standards.

The 2002 Conference will provide a forum for exploring questions involving measurement interoperability. Please join us in San Diego, California, in August 2002 to exchange ideas and techniques regarding the challenge of measurement interoperability and other metrology related issues.
