Abstract:

Following international discussion over a period of twelve months of the traceability issues arising in the measurement of materials properties, the CIPM meeting in October 2005 accepted the proposal to set up an ad hoc Working Group on Metrology of Materials. The Working Group will assess a wide range of materials properties, looking particularly at the need for improved traceability routes and the availability of appropriate reference materials. The Group will report to CIPM in October 2007, with the intention of raising the profile of materials metrology internationally and engaging the leading NMIs in recognising and addressing known difficulties in demonstrating traceability of many material properties to the SI. Terms of Reference have been agreed, and the first meeting will take place at the National Physical Laboratory in May. The paper will describe the range of properties being investigated and highlight the studies and pilot comparisons being undertaken by the Working Group members.
