An Alternative Method to Determine Measuring Instrument Fitness for Use

Article Preview

Abstract:

Conventional methods to determine measuring instrument fitness for use or at time refers to accuracy of measuring instrument include adopt the accuracy of measuring instrument derives from the specification of the instrument itself, or error of reading from calibration certificate or multiples of resolution and some even consider calibration renders fitness for use. The common weaknesses of these conventional methods do not take into consideration of measurement uncertainty and measurement requirements. This paper researches into an alternative method in line with recent development in metrology as well as users requirements. It not only taking measurement cost into consideration, also meets the requirement of ISO QMS measuring instrument management requirements.
