DIGITAL SCHEMAX AND THE FUTURE OF THE DIGITAL CALIBRATION CERTIFICATE408 KB

The Digital Calibration Certificate (DCC) is an endeavour spearheaded by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) to digitalise the creation of calibration certificates, which is currently analogue (paper based). This paper outlines some new developments of the DCC and describes future planned developments. We present the new Digital SchemaX (DX), which has been developed for DCC version 4. Second, an Envelope Digital Certificate (EDC) has been prepared to collect different calibration items that belong together. Third, a planned new schema for Digital Reference Materials (DRM) is briefly introduced. Fourth, a planned schema for Digital Test Certificates (DTC), which are based on test reports is described.
