METHODOLOGY FOR ASSESSING RISKS IN VERIFICATION OF MEASURING INSTRUMENTS

Abstract

Background. The relevance of the proposed methodology for assessing risks in verification activities is determined by the new requirements in the criteria for accreditation of metrological services for the right to verify measuring instruments and GOST R ISO 9001–2015. The aim of the work is to select methods for identifying and assessing risks when calibrating measuring instruments. Materials and methods. To solve this problem, the FMEA method and the method of the matrix of consequences and probabilities for the indicators «risk probability» and «risk impact level» were used. Results. In the course of the work, a methodology for assessing risks in the verification of measuring instruments was proposed, which is a separate section of the manual on the quality of verification activities. Conclusions. Positive results of the work open up the prospect of effective application of the methodology both for subsystems of verification activities and for the procedures of the quality management system of an enterprise that implements the requirements of GOST R ISO 9001–2015.
