Abstract:

Metrology Training Center of National Metrology Institute of Japan, AIST is an organization of legal metrology training for people from local governments in Japan and of training for certified measurers from private enterprises. It was founded in 1952 and has a history of 50 years. One thousand and a hundred trainees have been accepted in the 2006 fiscal year. There are two national examinations of metrology in Japan. One is Environmental Certified Measurer (of concentration measurement or of noise and vibration measurement) and the other is General Certified Measurer. Some of the General Certified Measurers are responsible for inspection of specified measuring instruments in legal metrology, for example, scales used in a supermarket and so on and half of them work for quality control and measurement control in private enterprises. Six hundred and fifty people, of 800 people who came from private companies, joined a follow-up training after passing the national examination of Environmental Certified Measurer (of concentration measurement or of noise and vibration measurement). The curriculum of the training of concentration measurement includes Basic Chemistry, Chemical Analysis and Uncertainty of Measurement, and Trainings of Gas Chromatography, Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy and ICP Emission Spectroscopy. The cost of the trainings for people from local governments in Japan is paid by the government of Japan and there are many courses from of 3-days to of 3-months for legal metrology. The curriculum of the legal metrology courses includes the measurement law, Mass Measuring Instruments, Inspection of Water and Gas Meter, On-the-spot Inspection of Pre-packed Commodity and so on. Outlines of the curriculum and the training of these courses are introduced.
