Metrology is an integral part of the structure of today’s
world: navigation and telecommunications require highly accurate
time and frequency standards; human health and safety relies on
authoritative measurements in diagnosis and treatment, as does food
production and trade; global climate studies also depend on
reliable and consistent data. Moreover, international trade
practices increasingly require institutions to display demonstrated
conformity to written standards and specifications.
As such, having relevant and reliable results of measurements
and tests in compliance with mutually recognised standards can be a
technical, commercial and statutory necessity for a company. This
book, the results of a working group from the French College of
Metrology and featuring chapters written by a range of experts from
a variety of European countries, gives a comprehensive and
international treatment of the subject. Academics involved in
metrology as well as people involved in the metrology capacities of
companies and institutions will find this book of great
interest.
