JCGMrapporten

The JCGMrapporten refers to a series of reports published by the Joint Committee for Guides in Metrology (JCGM). The JCGM is an inter-governmental body composed of national metrology institutes and international organizations, established to promote global harmonization in metrology. Its primary objective is to develop and promote the use of internationally recognized guides and standards in the field of measurement.

The most prominent publication from the JCGM is the "Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement" (GUM), often referred to as JCGM 100. This guide provides a systematic framework for evaluating and expressing measurement uncertainty, a fundamental aspect of scientific and industrial measurements. The JCGM also publishes other important documents, such as the "International Vocabulary of Metrology – Basic and General Concepts and Associated Terms" (VIM), designated as JCGM 200, which establishes a common language and definitions for metrology.

These JCGMrapporten are crucial for ensuring the comparability and reliability of measurements worldwide. They are widely adopted by national metrology institutes, regulatory bodies, and industries to standardize measurement practices and to facilitate international trade and scientific collaboration. The work of the JCGM, disseminated through its reports, plays a vital role in the global measurement infrastructure.
