THE BRAZILIAN EXPERIENCE ON PRODUCT CERTIFICATION: A METROLOGY-RELATED FUNCTION WHICH PRODUCES ECONOMIC IMPACT<br />
Journal Title: Metrology and Measurement Systems - Year 2007, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
Updated results related to the economic impact induced by certification of industrial products are used to demonstrate that metrology and metrology-related functions are essential complementary functions of industrial technology that underpin the quality of manufactured goods and foster competitiveness and trade. In contrast with other countries' experiences, this paper shows that Brazil innovated when implementing an integrated industrial technology multiple-function system. As such, the Brazilian experience, which greatly contributed to reach its current level of industrialization, could be useful for a world-wide audience interested in the main lessons learned in the metrology and conformity assessment fields.
