9. Uncertainties traditionally considered in normative frameworks
9.1 COFRAC accreditation process
COFRAC is a national accreditation body. In the context of EMC standard testing, and therefore for a testing laboratory, obtaining COFRAC accreditation means that it meets certain requirements in terms of quality and traceability, among other things. This recognition may be essential for certain customers or certain programs.
-
Metrology and therefore uncertainties play an important role in this accreditation.
There are various Technical Accreditation Guides (LAB GTA) to assist laboratories in their efforts. In the case of EMC testing, and more specifically for metrology, LAB GTA 07 is the guide that describes the traceability to be applied to measuring devices. This document lists...
