Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals was, within EURAMET Focus Group Action Plan for 2011, the host of the training on DC and AC current and resistance, in Belgrade, from September 13 to 14, 2011.

Trainees were representatives of South East European countries: two metrologists from each, Bureau of Metrology of FYR of Macedonia (BoM), Institute of Metrology of Bosnia and Herzegovina (IMBiH), Bureau of Metrology of Montenegro (MBM), General Directorate of Metrology (DPM) and four metrologists from Division for electrical quantities in Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals (DMDM). Seminar was held in cooperation with the National Metrology Institute of Germany (PTB).
Lecturer was an expert in the field of electrical quantities Mr. Funck Torsten (PTB), Head of Laboratory for AC-DC transfer and impedance.

Training was interactive. First day was dedicated to training in field of electrical resistance: calibration of resistance meter as well as calibration of standard resistors and calibrators. It was also discussed procedures for safe transport of standards with regards of calibration and interlaboratory comparison.
Calibration in the field of DC and AC current (measuring instruments, generators, amplifiers) was scheduled for second day of training.

For all these examples measuring uncertainty budgets were discussed.
Training was successfully completed. It was noted by participants that it would be helpful to organize practical after theoretical training for particular quantities, depending on the needs and interests of some National Metrology Institutes.
