MODULE 10

1. Calibration of the instrument is:


a) An adjustment of the instrument
b) A verification which ensures that your measuring instruments comply with the
current legal requirements for type approval and with the requirements for
maximum permissible error and measuring tolerances in general.
c) Operation that, under specified conditions, in a first step, establishes a relation
between the quantity values with measurement uncertainties provided by
measurement standards and corresponding indications with associated measurement
uncertainties and, in a second step, uses this information to establish a relation for
obtaining a measurement result from an indication
d) An operation which does not entail any conclusion of conformity or non-conformity
to a specification

2. A calibration of the instrument may be expressed (two of four):


a) By a statement, calibration function, calibration diagram, calibration curve, or
calibration table.
b) a calibration it may consist of an additive or multiplicative correction of the
indication with associated measurement uncertainty
c) a calibrated instrument cannot be used without its calibration certificate.
d) a calibrated operation is the adjustment of a measuring system, often called “self-
calibration”

3. Verification of measuring instruments is an important parameter in regards to:


a) When using meters or measuring equipment such as weights and scales for
purchases, sales or any other kind of transactions between you and your customer.
b) As owner of the equipment, you are responsible for ensuring that the instrument is
type approved and verified.
c) When your measuring instrument has been verified, it can be legally used for
transactions, and both you and your customer can be sure that the transaction is
based on correct measurements.
d) All of the above

4. When your instrument must be re-verified:


a) if the sealing breaks
b) in case of re-calibration
c) if the instrument complies with the applied tolerances.
d) in case of structural changes to the measuring instrument

5. What is the difference between calibration and verification?
a) The calibration and verification the instruments are based on practically different
procedures.
b) Verification is investigation that metrological characteristics of these instruments
are in compliance with officially established requirements, particularly with the
maximum permissible errors. Calibration quantitatively determines the relationship
between the measured value and the nominal value set by etalon benchmark.
c) Calibration is investigation that metrological characteristics of these instruments are
in compliance with officially established requirements, particularly with the
maximum permissible errors. Verification quantitatively determines the relationship
between the measured value and the nominal value set by etalon benchmark.
d) Calibration is a form of metrological traceability of measuring instruments,
verification is not.

6. measuring instruments must be calibrated and verified every year?


a) No. There is no rule demanding that measuring instruments must be calibrated once
a year, but every 3 years.
b) Yes. There is a rule demanding that measuring instruments must be calibrated once
a year.
c) Yes, but it is up to the user to determine the interval between calibrations.
d) No. There is no rule demanding that measuring instruments must be calibrated once
a year, unless stipulated otherwise in the regulations. It is up to the user to determine
the interval between calibrations.

7. Which one is right? Gauge (measuring instruments)…


a) are materials or substances of precisely determined composition or properties
b) are divided into: standards, working gauges approved, working measuring
instruments and certified reference materials.
c) are measuring instruments which MIT decree for mandatory verification with regard
to their relevance.
d) are measuring instruments which are neither standards nor legal measuring
instruments.

8. For what of the list below approved working gauges are not relevant?
a) for determining penalties, fees, tariffs, taxes
b) for Environmental protection and to protect health of human
c) for school safety
d) for protection of other public interests protected by special regulations

9. What is Traceability of Measurement?
a) It is a parameter associated with the result of a measurement that characterizes the
dispersion of values that can be assigned to the measured.
b) It is a quantitative measure of the quality of the measurement results, allowing to
compare the measurement results with other results, references, specifications or
standards.
c) Widely used and accepted method, e.g. accepted by the accreditation bodies is the
recommended procedure "GUM", described as in the Guide to the Expression of
Uncertainty Measurement.
d) It is a property of a measurement result or value of the standard.

10. What is Measurement uncertainty


a) It is a parameter associated with the result of a measurement that characterizes the
dispersion of values that can be assigned to the measured.
b) It is a property of a measurement result or value of the standard, which is intended
by relation to national or international standards through an unbroken chain of
comparisons with the corresponding uncertainties.
c) it is a classification of the instrument in an uninterrupted sequence of transfer of
values variables beginning with the standard of the highest metrological quality.
d) It is a qualitative measure of the quantity of the measurement results, allowing to
compare the measurement results with other results, references, specifications or
standards.

11. What does Inspection mean


a) examination and testing of a verified legal measuring instrument in use to ensure
that it continues to comply with metrological requirements.
b) examination and testing of a legal measuring instrument to ensure that it complies
with related metrological requirements, particularly those concerning accuracy.
c) inspection services are needed in many different industries, for example, scales,
beverage dispensers and fuel dispensers
d) With inspection services from conformity assessment and notified bodies, you can
be sure that your measuring devices function as they should, correctly and precisely.

12. Answer the two Benefits of Inspection of Measuring Devices (two of four)
a) Ensures accuracy of measuring instruments (scales, pumps etc.)
b) offers you a wide range of services for conformity assessment of measuring
instruments
c) Brings you cost savings by minimizing risks due to incorrect measurements
d) Trough inspection of measuring devices unnecessary obstacles to trade can be
avoided

13. the definition of the maximum permissible error will be a compromise between which
of the below: 1. cost of equipment calibration;2. cost of its accuracy reduction, meaning, in a
production environment, the cost of rejecting materials or products that are actually good;
3.for electrical equipment, if calibration certificate includes comparison with maximum
permissible error.
a) 1+2
b) 1+3
c) 2+3
d) 1+2+3

14. What is not an administrative risk of non-conformity


a) Conformity assessment missing or incorrect
b) Marking either missing or wrong
c) Instable mounting of the instrument or the instrument is used under wrong operating
conditions or wrong environmental conditions
d) Risk of manipulating the measurement or of exploiting the MPE

15. elements to be considered in such a “risk analysis” can be separated broadly into two
categories.
a) Administrative risk of non-conformity and Metrological risk of non-conformity
b) Administrative risk of non-conformity and Political risk of non-conformity
c) Metrological risk of non-conformity and Technical risk of non-conformity
d) Administrative risk of non-conformity and Technical risk of non-conformity

16. The risk for wrong measurements or the acceptable accuracy for a measurement
depends among other things on
a) the minimum permissible error, MPE, required for new instruments (accuracy class
if relevant)
b) the MPE required for instruments in-service and a possible acceptable conformity
rate
c) the way uncertainty in the conformity assessment is accounted for
d) verification and inspection bodies
