SIM MWG 12: QUALITY SYSTEMS

ABOUT THE SIM MWG 12

The SIM MWG 12 (Quality Systems), as a working group of the Technical Committee (TC), was established to support the needs of SIM members (National Metrology Institutes – NMIs and Designated Institutes – DIs) by enhancing their understanding and application of Quality Management Systems (QMS). It also assists members in the implementation and submission of their Calibration and Measurement Capabilities (CMCs) for peer recognition.
This working group collaborates closely with various SIM metrology working groups to promote a harmonized approach to quality system awareness and implementation across the region.

Relationship between the SIM MWG 12 and the SIM QSTF

The SIM MWG 12 and the SIM Quality System Task Force (QSTF) both play crucial roles in supporting quality management within the SIM framework, but have distinct responsibilities. The SIM MWG 12 focuses on assisting NMIs and DIs in implementing, maintaining, transitioning, and improving their QMS through training, collaboration, and the development of guidelines. In contrast, the SIM QSTF was established by the SIM General Assembly to meet the requirement that SIM review all member quality systems. More information about the SIM QSTF can be found in the [ SIM QSTF web page ]. While the SIM MWG 12 provides guidance and capacity-building support, the SIM QSTF serves as the SIM formal review and approval body of QMS.

SIM Peer Reviewers Information Database

Find a list of possible SIM Peer Reviewers and their contact information here: [ PEER REVIEWER DATABASE ].

DISCLAIMER: This database was created for the purpose of assisting SIM NMIs/DIs in finding and contacting potential peer reviewers to assess their technical capabilities and QMS in fulfillment of CIPM MRA requirements. This database is for information purposes only and should not be interpreted as an official nor exhaustive list. In that sense, it shall be considered that:

  • Experts listed are not vetted nor qualified by SIM MWG 12. The inclusion of an expert on this database does not waive the responsibility of the NMI/DI to evaluate and ensure conformance with the selection criteria recommended in the CIPM MRA guidelines.
  • Other experts not included in this database (from SIM or other RMOs) may be considered for peer reviewing as long as they meet the selection criteria included in the CIPM MRA guidelines.

You may also check for potential peer reviewers among the members of the other SIM MWGs or by contacting the respective chairs directly. For more information, visit the websites of each SIM MWG available on this SIM webpage.
