The pilot adopts the international digital calibration certificate format and tests it end to end: issuing, signing, exchanging and verifying certificates between laboratories and industrial clients.
Lessons from the pilot feed into a regional guideline so that institutes can adopt digital certificates in a consistent way.
Objectives
- Issue and verify digital calibration certificates in the pilot laboratories
- Agree a common data model for the region
- Publish a regional implementation guideline
Expected results
- Pilot laboratories issuing digital certificates
- Regional guideline adopted by the Technical Committee
- Training material for further roll-out
