THE QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE DIGITAL AGE: BEYOND MACHINE-READABLE DOCUMENTS

Sascha Eichstädt, Daniel Hutzschenreuter, Jens Niederhausen, Julia Neumann

Abstract

Digital transformation is challenging and changing the basic pillars of the quality infrastructure – metrology, standardization, accreditation, conformity assessment and market surveillance. The individual organizations are thus preparing and implementing digital transformation strategies to address the novel challenges and to make use of the new opportunities and possibilities. However, most of these developments still have a human- centric, document-based point of view. In this contribution we outline how the individual developments can be interconnected in the future and what a document-less digital quality infrastructure may look like.
