Due to the digital transformation, products as well as production and economic processes are changing massively and with increasing speed. The new requirements that go hand in hand with this present the established system of quality infrastructure (QI) with new challenges.
In order to meet these challenges, all quality assurance processes, such as conformity assessment, accreditation, certification and market surveillance, must be fully digitalised. All those involved must be digitally networked and act interoperably.
The PTB is therefore working together with the other players in national QI to implement a digitally transformed, interoperable and future-oriented quality infrastructure, the QI-Digital.
To this end, PTB's work consistently builds on the existing digital projects: digital, machine-readable certificates, digital networked processes, new production methods and artificial intelligence (AI). In QI-Digital, these are dovetailed with PTB's existing competences in the quality infrastructure - nationally and globally.
