Recognition and assessment of the quality management system

The self-declaration on quality management, provided by the President of PTB on the basis of the demonstration of competence, has won the unconditional acceptance of the customers and users of PTB’s services. This self-declaration is based on an annual self-assessment process (“review”) which incorporates the results of internal audits and comparison measurements, along with the evaluation results of feedback provided by customers of PTB’s services.

Within the scope of the implementation of international arrangements in the framework of the Metre Convention (CIPM-MRA), of legal metrology (OIML-MAA), and in the field of explosion protection (IECEx System), international teams of experts examined the expert work done at PTB and declared their confidence in the efficiency of PTB’s quality management system.

As part of renotification processes which took place in conjunction with the publication of new versions of the EU Directives on measuring instruments, non-automatic weighing instruments and explosion protection (MID, NAWID, ATEX), relevant proof of competence was provided to the national notification authorities on the basis of PTB’s quality management system.
