To accommodate current technological developments and laboratory conditions, ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) published the latest version of the ISO/IEC 17025 standard in 2017.Complying with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 enables laboratory to provide measurement results that are valid and traceable to international unit system. SNSU-BSN as National Metrology Institute (NMI) in Indonesia has transformed its management system from the old version ISO/IEC17025:2005 to the current ISO/IEC 17025:2017 in 2019. This study explains the process of SNSU-BSN transition in order to establish a management system complying with ISO/IEC 17025:2017. A comparison between the implementation of the old and the current ISO/IEC 17025 was explained along with its impacts and benefits.
Many industries use stopwatch/timer as instrument for measuring time in production process. To support the quality of product of industries, the stopwatch/timer should measure the time accurately. The accuracy of the stopwatch/timer can be known through calibration to a reference standard. Therefore, a stopwatch/timer should be calibrated first before used as instrument for measuring time. Research Center for Metrology (RCM) - LIPI as National Metrology Institute of Indonesia has responsibility to build measurement traceability in Indonesia, included measurement traceability for time. RCM - LIPI did calibration of stopwatch/timer manually. The operator responses in manual calibration that called as human reaction time contribute to inaccuracy of measurement result. Recently, an innovation for automation of calibration system of stopwatch/timer has been built to eliminate the human reaction time. The automation system has been designed and built using robotic arm and mini robot car. The aim of this system is to increase the efficiency and accuracy of stopwatch/timer calibration. The robotic arm is used to press the button of stopwatch/timer, and the mini robot car is used to press a reference standard universal counter The measurement result of time from the universal counter and stopwatch/timer are recorded automatically using a camera. The accuracy of the stopwatch/timer calibration has been increased by using the automation system. The system supports the improvement of the quality of industry products.
Dalam upaya membangun ketertelusuran pengukuran alat dan fasilitas kesehatan, khususnya yang memiliki parameter pengukuran frekuensi, telah dilakukan penelitian dan kajian kalibrasi sumber frekuensi rendah dalam rentang (0,1~10) Hz di Laboratorium SNSU Kelistrikan dan Waktu BSN. Terdapat banyak alat kesehatan yang memiliki parameter pengukuran frekuensi dalam rentang di bawah 10 Hz, salah satunya elektrokardiogram. Kemampuan pengukuran dan kalibrasi di Laboraorium SNSU Kelistrikan dan Waktu, untuk sumber frekuensi adalah 10 Hz ~ 3,2 GHz. Oleh karena itu, sangatlah penting untuk membangun sistem kalibrasi dan ketertelusuran untuk sumber frekuensi pada rentang di bawah 10 Hz. Dalam penelitian ini, telah dibangun sistem kalibrasi sumber frekuensi dalam rentang (0,1~10) Hz yang tertelusur ke Standar Nasional Frekuensi (NaFS), jam atom Cesium 133 HP5071A. Kemampuan pengukuran terbaik (BMC) didapatkan pada nilai 2,2×10 -4 Hz ~ 3,2×10 -5 Hz. Untuk mendiseminasikan kemampuan pengukuran tersebut, dilakukan kajian studi kasus tentang kalibrasi elektrokardiogram (EKG) dan simulatornya sebagai alat kesehatan yang memiliki parameter frekuensi rendah. Namun, perlu dilakukan kalibrasi ECG simulator atau sumber frekuensi rendah lainnya secara langsung menggunakan sistem kalibrasi yang telah dibangun.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
