What are signatories/designated laboratories of the CIPM-MRA? Signatories of the CIPM-MRA are the legal representatives of the highest authority for measurements in their country. Typically these representatives are the directors the National Measurement Institutes (NMIs). For specific fields of measurements, the repr esentatives can designate ot her labor atories as authority in their country.

How should I use the data obtained on measurements of a Certified Reference Material (C RM)? There are several possible uses for the data obtained from a measurement of a CRM. It can be used to:- - Validate a method of measurement. This is to see if the observed value and the certified value agree within the uncertainty. - Verify a specific measurement procedure. This is to see, if the observed value and the certified value agree within the uncertainty under the specific laboratory conditions. - Control the accuracy of measurements within the uncertainty. - Calibrate a measurement device for a specific type of measurement. This is to establish the relation between a ‘signal’ and the quantit y intended to be measured (usually a conc en tration). In the simplest case, a calibration factor and its uncertainty is calculated from the observed value and the certified value. - Underpinning proficiency testing. The use of a well characterised test sample, unknown by the PT participants, enables their performance to be monitored against certified values instead of the consensus values. Moreover, the homogeneity and stability of such a PT test sample will have been characterised already. - Develop new methods of measurement. - Estimate measurement uncertainty.
