Why Metrology is Essential?
• no quality without quality control,
• no quality control without measurements,
• no measurements without calibration,
• no calibration without calibration laboratories,
• no calibration laboratories without traceability,
• no traceability without measurement standards,
• no measurement standards without metrology

Metrology in Ancient Egypt

Metrology History
The Story of Metrology in Ancient Egypt
Ramses II distributed to all the citizensidentical square pieces of land, such that allwould pay the same taxes.
But the Nile floods changed their shapes.The scribers measured the new complexsurfaces shapes in order to adjust thetaxes.
Herodotus
(426 B.C - 484 B.C.).

Measuring and Counting in Ancient Egypt

Land surveying for purposes oftaxation and administration led tomeasuring and counting
Ramses II ~ 1300 B.C.
5000 years ago They
produce the master standard
of linear measurement, the
Cubit “Length of Royal
forearm”.
The Egyptians Laid the Foundation for
Modern Dimensional Measurements 7
The “Royal Cubit” Primary standard
was made from granite.

Industrialisation :- international trade, taxation, mechanical and (early) electrical engineering, National Office of Weights and Measures.
20 May 1875, the Meter Convention (second oldest
intergovernmental treaty) was signed, by 17 industrial nations, in
Paris with the aim of world-wide uniformity of measurement;
measurement standards improvement, international equivalence,
establishment of a global infrastructure for precise, accurate and
traceable measurement.
New type of institute dedicated, the National Metrology Institute
(NMIs).

Recent World Metrology System
The Meter Convention & NMIs Creation
15The Beginning of NMIs
In 1887 the first institute for metrological research was founded,
in Germany (PTB). Soon in other countries similar institutes
were created, first in the UK (NPL), then in the USA (NIST) and
in Japan (NMIJ).
In Egypt NIS was established in 1963 just after Egypt became
signatory to the metre convention in 1962.
Tasks of NMIs
Realisation and dissemination of units
Development and validation of measurement
procedures
Knowledge transfer
Consultation

Mutual Recognition Arrangement CIPM MRA
For the worldwide acceptance of national
measurement standards and of calibration and
measurement certificates issued by NMIs the
CIPM established a Mutual Recognition
Arrangement (MRA) In 1999, .
Currently, MRA participants : 45 member states of
the meter convention, 20 associates of the CGPM.
International Organisations (ILAC, IAF, BIPM, OIML, ISO) have developed
Interdependent procedures with the aim of "One standard, one test,
accepted everywhere.
17
Requirements of the CIPM MRA
Participating NMIs meet the following technical
criteria:
– Taking part in key, supplementary and bilateral
comparisons that validate their technical proficiency,
– Implementing quality/management systems in
conformity with ISO/IEC 17025 or ISO Guide 34.
– Quality system assessment by international RMO
review, or on-site peer review
– The calibrations and measurement capabilities
(CMCs) publicly declared in the BIPM.
Complying with the MRA means that an NMI calibration certificates are
acceptable world-wide with a validated uncertainty. Once measured/tested
in NMIs, everywhere accepted
