II.3. Actual and Future Situation
At the present time, the structure of the Network is included by 7 magni-
tudes managed by 6 Institutions, CESMEC (mass and temperature), IDIC
(force) and ENAER (pressure),DICTUC S.A.(length),CISA (Liquid Flows) and
University of Concepcion (electrical Magnitudes), Fig 3.
The 4 first laboratories are accredited under NCh ISO 17025 by the natio-
nal Accreditation System managed by INN and ISO 17025 under the Ger-
man Accreditation Institution, DKD. CISA has the national accreditation
recognition and the other 2 remaining laboratories are in process to get
both, national an international recognition.
The next goal will be to get the recognition by appendix C –BIPM to pres-
sure laboratory, to get the international recognition by the Deutscher
Kalibrierdienst (DKD) to length, liquid flow and electric magnitudes labo-
ratories.
Currently we have been working to get the national recognition to 5
chemical metrology laboratories, which will have the responsibility to su-
pport 3 main relevant areas, environment, food and mining.
III. Conclusion
Some countries has define a centralize model to establish a traceable
NMI, Chile took the network model to established the Chilean Metrology
Network based on our economic and social interest and guide by the Ger-
man Experience.This model has defender and opponent but more than it
the network is still walking to have a complete national and international
recognition. Finally has been a national decision therefore is our respon-
sibility to enhance it.
IV. Acknowledgments
Thanks to IMEKO to bring us this space to show a different experience
about an NMI.
