In the premises of the Directorate for Measures and Precious Metals (hereinafter: DMDM), in the period from June 12 to 13, 2025, a collegial assessment (on-site visit by peer) was carried out in the area of ​​mass. The evaluation was carried out by Bianka M. Stoilkovska, technical expert of the Macedonian National Institute for Metrology - Bureau of Metrology (BoM) in the field of quality and mass, EURAMET contact person for TC-Q and TC-M.

Collegial evaluation was carried out within EURAMET Project no. 1208 Peer visits and reviews of QMSs in BIM, MBM, IMBIH, LATMB, BoM and DMDM, and in accordance with the document EURAMET Guide for on-site visits by peers in the framework of CIPM MRA (G-TCQ-PRC-006, version 3.0), according to the standard SRPS ISO/IEC 17025:2017. The evaluation checked the technical requirements of calibration laboratories in relation to the published calibration capabilities (CMCs) in the KCDB BIPM database.

Representatives of DMDM ​​were:

  • Dragan Pantić, contact person for TC-Q and TC-M, technical expert in the field of quality and mass;
  • Jelena Ivandić, quality manager.

The two-day evaluation took place in a collegial atmosphere, through interactive work and the exchange of expert knowledge. The observations, which are the basis for improvement, are given in the report from the collegial visit, and the results of this assessment will serve as the basis for confirming the calibration possibilities (CMCs) of DMDM ​​in the KCDB BIPM database.

U prostorijama Direkcije za mere i dragocene metale (u daljem tekstu: DMDM), 13. avgusta 2025. godine, realizovano je kolegijalno ocenjivanje (on-site visit by peer) u oblasti gustine tečnosti.

Kolegijalno ocenjivanje sprovedeno je od strane tehničkog eksperta Turskog nacionalnog instituta za metrologiju (TUBITAK-UME) na osnovu EURAMET Projekta br. 1208, prema standardu ISO/IEC 17025:2017, proveravajući kako zahteve sistema kvaliteta, tako i tehničke zahteve laboratorije za etaloniranje u pomenutoj oblasti za objavljene mogućnosti etaloniranja (CMCs) u KCDB bazi BIPM.

Ocenjivanje je izvršila dr Gökçe Sevim Sariyerli, tehnički ocenjivač za oblasti gustine, zapremine i viskoznosti, kontakt osoba za EURAMET Tehnički komitet za masu i srodne veličine, Potkomitet za gustinu i viskoznost i Tehnički komitet za protok, Potkomitet za zapreminu.

Predstavnici DMDM bili su:

  • Jelena Bebić, rukovodilac Grupe za metrologiju u hemiji,
  • Jasmina Zukan Banović, metrolog za metrologiju u hemiji – koordinator,
