STANDARDIZATION OF THE ACTIVITY OF TESTING LABORATORIES AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE LEVEL OF METROLOGICAL SUPPLY
Keywords:
testing laboratory, standardization, metrological support, metrological traceability, measuring instruments, calibration, verification, measurement uncertainty, ISO/IEC 17025, quality management, accreditation, interlaboratory comparisons.Abstract
This article investigates the standardization of testing laboratory activities, the assurance of measurement uniformity, and the metrological reliability of measurement results. In the modern operation of testing laboratories, the accuracy, traceability, repeatability, and reproducibility of measurement results are among the key factors determining product quality, compliance with the requirements of technical regulations, and the reliability of conformity assessment processes. The results of the study can contribute to improving the quality of measurements in testing laboratories, reducing the risk of non-conforming results, and strengthening compliance with accreditation requirements.
