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).
