Representative of the Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals, Jasmina Lazarevic, metrologist for AC voltage and electricity in the Section for Electrical Quantities, participated in the work of the EURAMET Technical Committee for Interdisciplinary Metrology (EURAMET TC-IM), which took place on March 15th and 16th, 2023, in a hybrid format.

The meeting was organized by the Czech Metrology Institute (CMI) and held in Prague, with the participation of representatives from national metrology institutes (NMIs).

Significant topics presented at the meeting included current projects for the development of digital certificates, the development of calibration guides, updates on EURAMET activities, activities within EURAMET Capacity Building, and improvements to the knowledge transfer platform (e-learning) hosted on the BIPM website.

Ongoing projects were also presented, such as bilateral comparisons and the currently active "Early career training" project.

In the future work of the Technical Committee for Interdisciplinary Metrology, proposals and initiatives for new projects are expected, which will contribute to further development in metrology.

On 20^th of March, 2023 the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) published a new calibration and measurement capability (CMC) at the KCDB 2.0. database of Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals in the field of mass and related quantities, branch density.

For the first time calibration and measurement capability of hydrometer calibration by Cuckow method (Hydrostatic weighing) in the measurement range [600 до 2000] kg/m³ at  20 °С was published. More information regarding CMC in the field of density can be found in the BIPM KCDB .

Participating laboratories will bear the costs of inter-laboratory comparison and the costs of transporting objects of calibration. Laboratories are required to provide transportation to the following participating laboratory, in accordance with schedule from technical protocol of comparison. DMDM, as a pilot laboratory, after collecting applications, will submit a technical protocol to all participants in the comparison and determine the start of activity.

The costs paid to the DMDM account for comparison purposes amount to RSD 35,000.00. It is also necessary to pay  Republic administrative taxes in the amount of 330.00 RSD.

The representatives of Directorate of  Measures and Precious Metals, Dr Jelena Bebić, Head of Group for Metrology in Chemistry, Jasmina Zukan Banović and Luka Gažević, from 31. January  to 2. February 2023, have actively participated in the work of the EURAMET Technical Committee on Metrology in Chemistry (EURAMET TC-MC) as well as at the subcommittee meeting for organic and bio analysis and gas analysis in  Paris, France.

The EURAMET TC-MC meeting was attended by over 60 eminent experts, representatives of the National Metrology Institutes (NMI) and designated laboratories from most European countries. The host and the organizer of the meeting was LNE, National Metrology Institute of France.

Reports from all subcommittees within TC-MC, the status of current EPM projects, current European Metrology Networks (EMNs), projects related to various types of cooperation between National Metrology Institutes, key comparisons, as well as information regarding the status of  submitted and published calibration and measurement capabilities  (CMCs) were discussed at the meeting.

The Rulebook on amendments the Rulebook on the method of testing and stamping of articles of precious metals, precious metals and their alloys was published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia No. 6/23 of 27 January 2023 and enters into force on 28 January 2023 years,

and starts to apply on February 1, 2023.

Predstavnik Direkcije za mere i dragocene metale, Boban Zarkov, metrolog za optičke veličine, u periodu od 24. do 26. januara 2023. godine učestvovao je u radu EURAMET Tehničkog komiteta za fotometriju i radiometriju (EURAMET TC-PR), koji je ove godine održan hibridno u gradu Talinu, u Estoniji.

Organizator sastanaka bio je Nacionalni metrološki institut Moldavije. Sastanku je prisustvovalo 19 učesnika iz nacionalnih metroloških instituta i 11 gostiju iz institucija koje aktivno učestvuju u radu EURAMET TC-PR.

Značajne teme koje su prezentovane na sastanku bile su o bezbednosti kvantne komunikacije i zaštiti prenosa informacija od uticaja sa strane, rezulatima merenja projekta optičkih osobina aerosola u atmosferi, zatim o rezultatima projekta xRef i xBIRD, koji su imali za cilj određivanje bidirekcionalne refleksione funkcije, kao i bidirekcionalne transitivne funkcije.

Takođe, prezentovani su i rezultati projekta „Metrologija za vremensku modulaciju svetla“, koji ima za cilj da nabroji i objedini vizuelne parametre koji negativo utiču na ljudski vid. Projekat ima normativan karakter, što znači da će na osnovu rezultata projekta biti donesen međunarodni standard.

Učešćem u radu EURAMET TC-PR i podizanjem metrološke obrazovanosti kroz stalne kontakte sa vodećim laboratorijama u svetu, omogućava se bolji i kvalitetniji metrološki rad  laboratorije za optičke veličine i akustiku u Direkciji za mere i dragocene metale, kao i podizanje kvaliteta usluga u oblasti fotometrije i radiometrije.
