On-site peer review of EIM (Greece)
Project Description
The project will focus on an onsite peer visit to EIM, Greece, addressing Calibration and Measurement Capabilities (CMCs) within the technical aspects of the Quality Management System (QMS) based on the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017, in conjunction with other relevant documentation.
The on-site visit is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024, in accordance with CIPM MRA-G-12 and the EURAMET "Guide for On-Site Visits by Peers" (G-TCQ-PRC-006), conducted within the framework of the CIPM MRA.
Technical experts and designated contact persons from DMDM, Republic of Serbia, specialising in Length, Mass, Temperature, and Fluid Flow (Volume of Liquid), will be the peers for this evaluation in 2024.
A progress report detailing the peer visit will be submitted by the end of 2024, covering technical aspects, with the final project report to be completed and submitted before the EURAMET TC-Q Meeting.
The project is expected to be completed prior to the EURAMET TC-Q Meeting in 2025.
Final Report 2025-04-01
In the EURAMET project 1680, the EIM - Quality Management System was peer-reviewed in an on-site visit of laboratories of Mass and Related Quantities (Mass), Fluid Flow (Volume of Liquid), Length and Thermometry (Temperature), by the metrology experts from the Republic of Serbia (DMDM), and contact persons in EURAMET TCs of these specific technical fields.
The review included relevant requirements for the competence stated in requirements of EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017, focusing on technical activities, especially on EIM CMCs in KCDB 2.0 BIPM (published and submitted).
The peer-review visit was held in two parts:
- First visit in December 10-11, 2024 - Volume of Liquid and Temperature and
- Second visit in January 21-22, 2025 - Mass and Length
During the peer review, a few recommendations were made. Some of them are already solved, while solving some recommendations will take longer time.
The QMS of the EIM in the technical part of Mass and Related Quantities, Fluid Flow (Volume of Liquid), Length, and Thermometry (Temperature) were found to be adequate and comply with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 as stated in all submitted reports on 21 February 2025.
