Preparation of the first OIML Working Document on Software in measuring instruments

摘要

Software in measuring instruments had already been identified as a high priority issue by the legal metrology community at the end of 1999, when OIML TC 5/SC 2 was established with the task of preparing a guidance document on software for OIML Technical Committees drawing up OIML Recommendations. The contents of the Document were based on a combination of the opinions of TC 5/SC 2 members, requirements already stated in existing OIML Recommendations, and recent experiences worldwide in the field of software in measuring instruments. The core of the Document centers around both the requirements and the validation guidance, and addresses recent developments in technology.
