Germany and Brazil Sign Metrology Pact

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
The leaders of Germany and Brazil recently signed an agreement commiting the metrological institutes of both countries, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Germany and the National Institute of Metrology, Standardization and Industrial Quality in Brazil, to accept each other's calibration results and cooperate extensively in the field of metrology. Currently, a measuring instrument manufacturer could face additional expenses when he exports products that meet reliability standards in his own country, but which could be subject to recalibration once across the border. Germany and...Read full article

    metrology
    Metrology is the science and practice of measurement. It encompasses the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, including the development of measurement standards, techniques, and instruments, as well as the application of measurement principles in various fields. The primary objectives of metrology are to ensure accuracy, reliability, and consistency in measurements and to establish traceability to recognized standards. Metrology plays a crucial role in science, industry,...
