SCIENTIFIC AND METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF ESTABLISHING A CALIBRATION LABORATORY FOR MODERN GEOMETRIC MEASURING INSTRUMENTS
Keywords:
Calibration laboratory, geometric measuring instruments, metrology, traceability, ISO/IEC 17025, measurement accuracyAbstract
The rapid development of industrial production and scientific research requires high accuracy and reliability of geometric measurements. Establishing a calibration laboratory for modern geometric measuring instruments is crucial to ensure measurement traceability, compliance with international standards, and enhancement of product quality. This article explores the scientific and methodological foundations for organizing such laboratories, focusing on standardization, metrological assurance, quality management, and the integration of advanced technologies.
