Development of the management system for metrological assurance of measurements

Abstract

Abstract Issues relating with solving the problems of setting up and managing the system for metrological assurance of measurements at machinery manufacturing plants have been discussed. In order to improve the quality of metrological assurance and mitigate risks relating with unreliable and inaccurate measurement results, it has been proposed to develop a system for management of metrological assurance of measurements. Standards which may be used for building such a system have been analyzed. Metrological assurance has been reviewed from the standpoint of PDCA cycle. Processes that are part of the system of metrological assurance of an enterprise have been reviewed. In accordance with the structure and requirements of ISO 9001 standard a register of processes has been developed and a functional model for the management system for metrological assurance of measurements at a machinery manufacturing plant has been developed.
