Die Entwicklung des DKDThe answer from EURAMET

Finally: „No“!

Because:

• there are 37 NMIs and about 80 Designated Institutes in Europe but about 1000 accredited calibration labs

• EURAMET has its own interests, not representing other interests • much effort to deal with so many Designated Institutes

Die Entwicklung des DKDEstablishment of EUROCAL in 2012

In 2012 decision of CKS, DKD and KZSR:

„Let‘s start with the associations of calibrationlabs of three countries and whoever is interested to join is welcome!“

„Let‘s keep it simple: no membership fees, only voluntary work, simple exchange ofinformation via an internet platform: www.eurocal.eu“
