INTERNATIONAL COMPARISON

  1. HOME
  2. International Comparison

International comparisons implemented by Bureau International des Poids et Mesures, Consultative Committee for Amount of Substance (BIPM/CCQM) are the good opportunities for National Measurement Institutes (NMIs) to show their own core measurement capabilities (CMCs).

Our group is participating in relevant international comparisons in following four working groups;

  • Nucleic Acid Analysis Working Group, NAWG
  • Protein Analysis Working Group, PAWG
  • Organic Analysis Working Group, OAWG
  • Cell Analysis Working Group, CAWG

The measurement techniques established through the participation of international comparisons are becoming important basis of our value-assignment techniques forour certified reference materials (CRMs).
