Introduction (1)• Twinning Light Project Strengthening of State

Executive in Czech Republic in the field of metrology

– Twinning focused on the • approach to the Non-Harmonized Part of Regulated

Area in the Field of Measuring Instruments in EU and on

• Presentation of the Experience and Practical Approach to the Regulation and Surveillance in the Field of Medical Devices with Measuring Function.

This presentation will focus on:

Netherlands example in budgeting for maintenance and development of National Measurement Standards and surveillance on MI’s in use.


Calculation of budget for maintenance and development of national measurement standards and supervision on MI’s in use at NMi

• What components to take into account in the budgeting process– Maintenance and realization– Research and development– Key-comparisons– Inspections– Preparation of Laws and

representation

Introduction (3), Dutch legal metrology

A short intermezzo about the organisation of legal metrology in The Netherlands


Legal Metrology in the Netherlands (1)• Privatisation of the legal metrology service

(’89)– New Weights and Measures Act– Nederlands Meetinstituut b.v. (NMi)– Fully owned by Ministry of Economic Affairs– TNO shareholder of NMi since 2001, TNO is a

leading independent Dutch research organisation

– New Law On Metrology 2006 introducing a.o. MID (Scope now more than fair trade)

• NMi is one central organisation– Two different profiles (legal metrology)– NMi Certin and Verispect

V e risp e ct b .v.C e e s va n M u llem

N M i b .v.Ja n R id d er


NMi Certin b.v.• Access to the market

– Type approval– Initial verification– Re-verification after repair– Authorisation for verification (via

Verispect)– System-certification (companies)– Notified Body for NAWI Directive (CE)

• On a commercial basis, no contract with government

• Located in Dordrecht (75 employees)


Verispect b.v.• Supervision in the market

– Random inspections– Consumer protection and fair trade– Free of charge of owner– Weights and Measures Act, Gaming

Act and Hallmarking Act– Organised in two departments with

40 inspectors located over the country

• All activities covered by contracts with government

• Main office located in Delft, 58 employees


Law for Weights and Measures• Weighing instruments• Measuring instruments (length)• Measuring systems for Fluids• Gas meters• Electricity-meters• Weights• Taximeters

• Implementation of MID (Approved New Law on Metrology implements MID)


Supervision in service• Random inspections, unexpected• Instrument conform type approval• Inspections at the user place• Frequency dependent on metrological

properties• Independent from type approval and initial

verification• Cost effective for owner• Owner/user responsible for instrument


Supervision

• Result of the inspection:– Metrological properties in line

with requirements– Sealing are broken/no marks– No initial verification– Maintenance of instrument

• Depending on the failure, follow-up action:– Repair under the

responsibility of owner– Rejection, re-verification– The inspector comes back

after two months


Co-operation• Inspectors during the supervision take into

account the findings of skilful persons or corporations, who in the practice of a profession or business maintain or verify measuring and weighing instruments

• Co-operation agreement with manufactures and maintenance companies– Quality system based on ISO 9001:2000– Analysis of the procedures and working

instructions– Technical audit of the personnel– Official agreement– Co-operation mark


Why co-operation?• Responsibility of measurement

instrument partly from government to owner/user.

• Co-operation leads to an efficient supervision and where appropriate a cost-saver for the government.

• Advantage for the owner or user of the measuring instrument: less stagnation of the production-process.

• Co-operation with 68 companies in all the sectors of supervision.


Summary Supervision

• Supervision system differs from country to country– Dependent on the culture in a

country– The role of government– Independent from type approval

• Dutch system incorporates more responsibility for the owner/user

• Co-operation leads to cost reduction for government and has benefits for owner of instrument.


• Maintenance is up keeping:– the level of uncertainty of the NMS– the NMS in operation– the QS– the contacts within the metrology infrastructure

• Realization is:– improving the uncertainty of the NMS– adjusting NMS to new (international) requirements– introducing QS– substantial extension of NMS

• Development– introducing new standards and realization of new

methods

Introduction (4)


Introduction (5)• Research

– Research on new standards and methods• Surveillance

– Surveillance on instruments in use in legal area

• Preparation of Law and International representation– Law preparation and participation in EU

groups– Representation in OIML, WELMEC etc

• Separate contracts for Hallmarking and Gaming

Responsibilities

• The Dutch government signed the Metre Convention in 1929

• Use of SI system is mandatory since 1979 (Directive 80/181/EEG)

• Dutch Metrology law determines:– Which units are recognised– That maintenance and development of national

standards is described in a separate directive (AMVB)

– That one institute will be designated as the national metrology institute

– Requirements for the national metrology institute

– Metrology Council

• Metrology law is just revised (2006)


Standaardenbesluit 1989

• Pubished on 19 April 1989• National standards will be

maintained for mass, length, temperature, electrical voltage, electrical resistance

• Desciption on how standards must be maintained or realised

• NMi VSL B.V. was designated as the Dutch NMI on 24 April1989


Standaardencontract

• Contract agreement between MEA and VSL was signed on 1 May 1989The contract is renewed each year

• NMi VSL is obligated by contract to:– Maintain and realise the standards mentioned in

the “Standaardenbesluit”– Maintain calibration facilities for these standards– Maintain and realise other standards and their

calibration facilities as described in “maintenance agreements” (our annual work plan)

– Make the uncertainty level of the national standards comparable to the international level


Contracts of VSL with MEA

• SBO Contract (~ 35 man years)– Maintenance of (national) standards– Development of new standards– Metrology infrastructure– Investments

• Key comparisons (~ 3 man years)

• Research contract (~ 8 man years)
