The role of the TC-M is to ensure that the infrastructure for mass and related quantities in Europe, within the NMIs and DIs, is fit-for-purpose and internationally competitive for the benefit of Europe’s multi-sector user community. The Strategy Working Group has been established to advise the TC-M Chair and help coordinate the work of the Technical Committee to put in place the necessary structures. The group is aiming at fostering collaboration, research and performing comparisons to ensure that the EURAMET TC-M continually meets its objective in a timely manner.

Objectives of the Working Group

The role of WG-Digitalisation in TC-M is to enable information exchange about digitalisation in the European mass community, identify the needs and problems, and provide help to the experts of mass and related quantities.

The objectives

• Continuously monitor relevant topics in the digital transformation of metrology and industry, analyse their relevance to TC-M;​
• Prevent unnecessary parallel work by improving communication and collaboration within EURAMET and beyond;​
• Develop or contribute to TC-M specific guidelines;​ Identify suitable software tools and other resources;​
• Provide and maintain an open exchange of ideas, suggestions and questions;​
• Ensure TC-M is in the harmonisation process with other metrology areas;​
• Foster the uptake and harmonisation of individual developments by TC-M members.​

Objectives of the Working Group

• Realisation of primary hardness scales traceable to the SI units and their dissemination 
• Organisation, registration and approval of comparisons of hardness scales and indenters
• Harmonisation, review and acceptance of CMCs
• Research cooperation, in particular in the European Partnership on Metrology projects
• Development of methods and guides for uncertainty evaluation
• Cooperation in knowledge exchange, capacity building and training
• Liaison among international organisations in the field of hardness
• Strategic planning for hardness measurements
