Metrology in Brief:

• One of the most significant factors in production and quality control is the reliability of measurements

•In order to ensure reliable measurements a meter convention is signed by 17 nations in 1875 and BIPM (Bureau International des Poids at Measures) is established by the meter convention.

•Today the meter convention is a diplomatic treaty (mutual recognition arrangement) between 48 nations with the aim of providing the basis for a single, coherent system of measurements

•Almost all developed and developing countries have a national metrology institute. These laboratories working together and with BIPM ensure correct and uniform measurements with the rest of the world.

Calibration , Traceability and Mutual Recognition Aggreement:

•Calibration is measurement of differences between actual measurements and true value of a measurement device

•Traceability is a chain system of calibrations with more accurate device in each level of measurements. In national metrology institute level they compare their calibrations with each other and ensure the correct measurements in the world level

•On 14 October 1999, national metrology institutes of 38 countries (including Turkey) that are part of the Meter Convention have signed a Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) that aims at the degree of equivalence of the national measurement standards and the mutual recognition of the calibration certificates issued by the signatories.



Duties of National Metrology Institutes:

•National Metrology Institutes are to establish and maintain national standards for all measurements carried out within that country and to calibrate the measurement standards and devices of lower level laboratories.

•All measurements of metrology institutes are traceable to the national standards.

•National standards are linked to the standards in other countries or those of BIPM by a process of international comparisons.

•National centers with the secondary level accredited laboratories form the national measurement system and coordinate their activities.

•The national center proves its proficiency via comparisons with other national metrology institutes and BIPM.

Understanding and philosophy of UME in 1992

Measurements Systems of Turkey should be compatible to the International and Regional (European) Systems

UME must operate along the lines of well established metrology institutes

UME should be an important part of the International Metrology System

UME should be able to sign recognition agreements

In 15 years UME should close the the gap of 100 years and IBRD projects are the main tools to establish this goal



Challenges UME has to face during the development periodMeasurement science and technology (metrology) should be well ahead of other branches of science and technology.

A metrology institute should be able to calibrate any equipment the customer has. In order to do that, metrology institutes should have better measurement systems and techniques compared to their customers.

What happens if the customer has the state of the art measurement system the money can buy (frequently the case) ?

Then metrology institutes must develop their own measurement equipment and techniques that are better than any commercial system.

This requires rather advance research, wide cooperation among similar institutes and is very costly.



Advantages of Using IBRD Funds

Structured Decision MakingWell established and long term rulesCentralized information/advise pointSecured and planned fundingLow indirect and real costs

Disadvantages of Using IBRD Funds

Generalized rules, in some cases not enough flexibilityReplacement of key IBRD staff during the life-time of the ProjectHigh direct and apparent costs



Problems EncounteredIBRD

Not enough flexibility in some cases

Borrower (Turkish Government)Coordination between Treasury and State Planning Office.Compatibility of IBRD and local rules.Providing the necessary inputs for the Project such as

Counterfund fundingStaffing

Implementing Agency (TUBITAK/UME)Adoptation to mostly strict rules (not to be able to understand the logic behind the rules).Inability to solve procurement related problems in a short time.Preparation of technical specifications for procurement.



Suggested Solutions

•Splitting the Implementation Rules as General and Project Specific Rules

•Assigning an organizational advisor to act as an arbitrator with a similar role of Engineer in the construction projects •General Rules are fixed throughout the Project

•Project Specific Rules can be modified by the suggestion of the Advisor and acceptance of IBRD and the Implementing Agency



UME has started with 12 people and 200,000 USD worth of equipment in 1992. In that year total income from industrial services was 12,000 USD and UME could handle only 1% of the calibration requests

With two IBRD Projects at the end of 2003, UME had 190 people, 1,600,000 USD industrial income and could handle 80% of calibration requirements of Turkish Industry

At the end of 2006, UME plans to have 300 people, 3,000,000 USD industrial income and will be able to handle 95% of calibration needs of the industry.

Main Progress of UME (1992-2006)



UME as now and in the Future :

UME has established its goal for now, thanks two IBDR projectsNow UME has fulfilled all the targets set in 1992 in 10 years, rather than initially anticipated 15 years, more ambitious targets can be set:

In 10 years UME should become one of the major metrology institutes in the world and in the region helping for a larger share of Turkish exports.

UME should have a very important role in Turkey for the usage of sophisticated measurements and techniques for the scientific and technological development of the country.

UME should provide the necessary know-how to the industry for more efficient, profitable and reliable production.
