Abstract:
This paper presents the strategy followed to restore Jamaica’s Mass laboratory’s development aiming towards the expansion of its Calibration and Measurement Capabilities (CMCs). The work will present a set of key steps taken to improve the current status of the Bureau of Standards Jamaica (BSJ) Mass laboratory in order to bring the laboratory closer to a level of a recognized National Metrology Institution (NMI). The factors considered for the improvement strategy of the laboratory were:
i) the laboratory’s quality system,
