This Spring we cover the theme: agile practices in standards, testing, measurement and calibration. Jeff Ruddle’s article regarding the ISO/IEC 17011 revision discusses how more focus has been placed on accreditation bodies taking a risk-based approach to the planning and conduct of assessments.
It’s been a very busy time for our members over the past few months. The end of the year meant that Brexit transition was completed and that we are now no longer a member of the EU. Combined with the Testing, Measurement and Calibration industry being at the forefront of the Covid-19 issue, this has meant many of our members have been busier than ever.
This issue looks towards the 4th industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0 as it is generally known, and its possible impact on Measurement, Testing and Calibration.
Once again contributions to the newsletter have been influenced by Covid-19, and we have articles in this issue that focus on the future of remote assessment, PPE and forged or fake certifications.
