Metrology in Developing Economies – Jamaican Experience in Publishing Mass CMCs in Appendix C of MRA of CIPM.

• Abstract:

  This paper presents the strategy followed to restore Jamaica’s Mass laboratory’s development aiming towards the expansion of its Calibration and Measurement Capabilities (CMCs). The work will present a set of key steps taken to improve the current status of the Bureau of Standards Jamaica (BSJ) Mass laboratory in order to bring the laboratory closer to a level of a recognized National Metrology Institution (NMI). The factors considered for the improvement strategy of the laboratory were:
  i) the laboratory’s quality system,
  ii) expertise and exposure of the staff,
  iii) work with peers NMIs,
  iv) publication of the laboratory CMCs.
