1. M etrology S tandards T esting Q uality Relevance of a National Quality Infrastructure PTB practical experience in capacity building Boao Forum for Asia 26-27 June 2006 Hainan, China Dr. Ulrich Diekmann PTB

2. Globalization impulses Free Trade Agreements (FTA) FTA’s facilitate globalized Supply chains Supply chains require harmonized Standards Implementation of Standards need correct Measurements Measurements assure reliable Testing and Analysis Tests are the basis for Product Certification Certifiers and Laboratories should be accredited Accreditation equal Technical Competence Competence must be demonstrated by global evaluation Global evaluations ends up in globalized Products Quality Infrastructure is needed! Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt

3. Quality Infrastructure - QI (MSTQ) S tandardization = Definition of properties, dimensions, tolerances, etc. M etrology = Guarantee of exact and reliable measurements C ertification = Conformity with requirements defined in standards A ccreditation = Recognition of technical competence T esting = Analysis of properties, ingredients, characteristics, etc. Q uality Management = Reliable application of quality standards Quality ??? Quality !!! Quality ?!? Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt
