Quality Infrastructure
The CEM, ENAC and UNE are the strategic partners that comprise the three main pillars of the quality infrastructure in Spain. The joint work of these organizations promotes the competitiveness and efficiency of our business sectors, and of our economic fabric in general. As a result, they are able to work closely in order to improve and develop this infrastructure that provides assurance to the public.
Metrology and standardization are two essential activities for the quality infrastructure in Spain, and it is to this end that the CEM and UNE are working in such close collaboration.
Through this alliance, the CEM actively participates in the UNE Metrology and Calibration Committee (CTN 82), which is vital in the publication of the highest quality standards in this field, standards that facilitate the essential measurement activity, in accordance with international standards and best practices.
The UNE provides the CEM with the necessary support for the optimum performance of its functions. In addition, the close collaboration between the two bodies enhances training and promotes the dissemination of standardization at conferences and events, as well as in international cooperation projects.
Metrology in the automotive industry and sustainable mobility; the digital transformation in metrology; metrology and social welfare; advanced metrology; metrological developments; the challenges of legal metrology, or the quality infrastructure, are just some of the contents that will be addressed during the congress.
