|
In order to extend and fully document the practice of comparisons and to provide objective evidence on which to base declarations of equivalence, in 1999 the International Committee for Weights and Measures launched a Mutual Recognition Arrangement between National metrology institutes from Member States of the Meter Convention and Associate States and Economies of the General Conference of Weights and Measures.
The CIPM MRA establishes a formal system within which National Metrological Institutes signatories and other designated institutes establish the degree of equivalence of their national measurement standards via a peer-review of their technical capabilities, as well as the mutual recognition of their calibration and measurement certificates. This degree of equivalence is technically supported through a series of “key” measurement comparisons which establish a basis for comparing and linking measurements across international boundaries.
The CIPM MRA commits metrology to provide an essential support for global trade through a mutual recognition framework, which can help eliminate technical barriers to trade and regulatory affairs.
To support the CIPM MRA the International Bureau of Weights and Measures key comparison database provides free public access to the results of key comparisons and the peer-reviewed, IS traceable, calibration and measurement capabilities, and the degrees of equivalence of participating laboratories in many areas of chemistry and physics.
The launch of the CIPM MRA was a major step for the Meter Convention. As a result, metrology laboratories are now more confident of the technical basis for their calibration services, and their listing provides National metrology institutes with internationally recognized competence. It is already proving its value in the world of NMI metrology and a number of international and national organizations have already committed themselves to use it as evidence of technical equivalence at the highest levels, or for wider agreements negotiated for international trade, commerce or regulatory affairs.
Whilst the technical coverage of the CIPM MRA is presently focused on physics, engineering and chemistry, the future will see related developments in the areas of laboratory medicine and food as the established framework can be applied to these new sectors. Already in laboratory medicine, the Joint Committee for Traceability in Laboratory Medicine (JCTLM) is creating a similar database of reference materials and processes. Key and other comparisons are underway to help provide the technical underpinning for this work. In this way, sound metrology practice will be applied to new activities, which contribute to human health and the quality of life.
