Metrology plays an important role in scientific innovation, manufacturing industry, commerce, health, safety, security and protection of the public interest. This measurement is very important in ensuring the conformity of a product to the referenced standard, in particular the assurance that the measurement is appropriate, including how to test the conformity of the product. The meeting which was held on Friday (18/6/2021) was held in collaboration between SNSU BSN and the Central Laboratory of Science and Engineering Brawijaya University.
Director of National Standards for Thermoelectric and Chemical Measurement Units of BSN, Ghufron Zaid explained, SNSU BSN as the National Metrology Institute (NMI) of Indonesia has a role in ensuring the validity of measurements including the provision of calibration services; provision of proficiency test; increasing national measurement capabilities, one of which is the development of calibration guidelines; as well as seeking international recognition for measurement and calibration capabilities, one of which is collaborating with the German Metrology Institute, PTB Germany, regarding traceability for photo-voltaic technology.
Meanwhile, in an effort to get international recognition for measurement and calibration capabilities, SNSU BSN conducts comparative tests at regional and international levels. SNSU BSN is also evaluated by metrology experts from national metrology institutes of other countries.
Ghufron added, SNSU BSN also develops calibration guidelines and develops a calibration measurement system that is tailored to the current and future needs of measurement traceability.
