Abstract

Technology and today's global economy depend on reliable measurements and tests that are accepted internationally. In this context, metrology, the science of measurement, is a fundamental element in the materials measurement system, as has been explained in Chap. 1. Metrology can be considered in categories with different levels of complexity and accuracy:
  • Scientific metrology deals with the organisation and development of measurement standards and with their maintenance.
  • Industrial metrology has to ensure the adequate functioning of measurement instruments used in industry as well as in production and testing processes.
  • Legal metrology is concerned with measurements that influence the transparency of economic transactions, health, and safety.
However all scientific, industrial, and legal metrological tasks need appropriate methodologies for measurement strategy and quality, which are compiled in this chapter. These are the essential tools to achieve the quality and competence required by today's market.
