On the 15th November 2021,
the European Co-operation for Accreditation (EA) published an updated version
of EA-4/02 M, an EA Document on “Evaluation of the Uncertainty of Measurement in
Calibration. The revised document may be downloaded directly from the EA website by clicking here.
EA-4/02 was written with the objective
to harmonise evaluation of uncertainty of measurement within EA, to set-up, in addition
to the general requirements of EA, the specific demands in reporting uncertainty
of measurement on calibration certificates issues by accredited laboratories
and to assist accreditation bodies with a coherent assignment of Calibration
and Measurement Capability to calibration laboratories accredited by them.
The
NAB-MALTA will look at awareness and implementation of this revised publication
during routine assessment activity.
