METROLOGICAL INFRASTRUCTURE FOR CHEMICAL MEASUREMENTS RELATED TO QUALITY OF LIFE IN SLOVENIA

Ivan Skubic, Nineta Majcen, Paul De Bièvre, Philip Taylor

Abstract

An approach to set up an appropriate and optimal national infrastructure for measurements related to quality of life in Slovenia is described. It is based on an analysis of the needs of the global society, of the national needs and priorities and on the national capabilities. The implementation of the conclusions into practice has started. As in general measurements in chemistry and microbiology were not yet systematically tackled, the approach given here might serve as a model to enable other countries to establish a suitable national metrology infrastructure, which would adequately support the national needs in chemical and microbiological measurements.
