The subject of this study is to explore modern methods for control of dynamic and kinematic viscosity of liquid media, the state of its metrological support in the republic as well as to see findings from the experiments to ensure metrological control in the International System of Units. The results from this study are found relevant for wide use in agricultural and food products, biologically active additives in assessing quality and safety, metrology. It is also considered relevant in connection with the wide use of viscosity measuring tools in the oil- and fuel industry, medicine, cosmetology, geological and construction and other industries, to evaluate the quality and safety of products, control technological processes at production sites. Scientific and practical recommendations and decisions on improvement of scientific, technical, organizational and regulatory framework of metrological provision of viscometers in the field of ensuring uniformity of measurements and its practical solutions. The findings from the study can be applied with metrological services. Based on the results of the research, metrological examination of various scientific, theoretical and functional viscometers, final conclusions were developed.

The issues of assessing the uncertainty of the results of analytical measurements in modern laboratory practice are considered taking into account the requirements of international standards in the field of metrology. The results of the development of a methodology for calculating the uncertainty of measurement results and evaluating the accuracy characteristics, the main content, procedure and calculation sequence according to the requirements of the international document GUM (Guide to the expression of measurement results) are presented.
