PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE OF THE CIPM MRA - THE VIEW FROM AN NMI ”USER”

Fiona Redgrave

Abstract

The mutual recognition of national measurement standards and of calibration and measurement certificates issued by national metrology institutes (NMIs) was signed in October 1999. Since then the NMIs have striven to develop and effectively implement the CIPM MRA. Following the completion of the transition period, this paper describes those activities from an NMI’s viewpoint, the lessons learnt and the challenges to be faced in the future, including ensuring that the benefits of the CIPM MRA are taken out into the wider international community and that the CIPM MRA can be developed and sustained in the long term.
