MEASUREMENTS QUALITY ASSURANCE IN TECHNICAL UNIVERSITIES
Edi Kulderknup
Abstract:
Technical universities have some other involvements additionally to the task to teach students and to generate competent engineers, who shall be able work in the wide area. Universities have great specialists capability and know-how to carry out research work and this allows to solve various applied science task for the industrial infrastructure. Above two tasks have in some moments contrary application, especially to give the widely accepted assurance of the testing result, including measurements, is under suspicion. Now-a-days assurance of testing is mainly in the form of the accreditation or the certification from the third parties. In some cases other principles, like proficiency testing, can be used. Main goal of this study work was to find testing and measurements assurance main rules in technical universities and give some conclusions, what shall be done to give more assurance to the test results. Study work includes the estimation of possibilities for measurements quality assurance for universities testing and calibration laboratories, analyse of the accreditation assessments results and the found non-conformities. Given conclusions, which can help better to solve the quality problems by measurements in practice.
