Quality Certificates

Resolution JCRB/45-1 (March 2022)

The JCRB noted that the RMOs have progressed successfully with a mix of in-person, online and hybrid periodic reviews of quality management systems of the institutes in their regions. The JCRB encouraged the RMOs to further develop these review routes and keep to the 5-year review period. Exceptionally, where this is not possible, they may extend the validity of these QMSs subject to a case-by-case evaluation by the RMO concerned. This extension of validity shall be for a period not exceeding one year. The power to grant such extensions will be re-evaluated at the time of the 46th meeting of the JCRB.

Meetings of the SIM Quality System Task Force, where the quality systems of the National Metrology Institutes in the Americas and Caribbean are reviewed, are generally held during SIM Week (held between Sept and Nov) and at the mid- term (held between March and May). 

For example, fall meetings were scheduled in September 2018 and this year, 2023, the meetings are scheduled in November.  New certificates are not re-issued for this interim period, nor should it be considered that the quality management system is lapsed.
