meetrapport

A meetrapport, or measurement report, is a formal document that communicates the results of a set of measurements. It is typically produced by a measurement laboratory, engineer, technician, or other professional responsible for testing or calibrating equipment. The report records the objectives, the object under test, the measurement methods, and the conditions under which the measurements were performed. It also documents the instruments used, their calibration status, environmental conditions, and any sampling performed.

The core content of a meetrapport includes the measured data, the calculations performed, and an uncertainty assessment. It describes the measurement approach, references standards or procedures followed, and provides a clear traceability path to established standards. Adherence to guidelines for uncertainty evaluation, such as the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM), is commonly addressed. The report concludes with an interpretation of results, compliance statements, conclusions, and any recommended actions or follow-up tests. Appendices may contain raw data, calibration certificates, or supplementary calculations.

Purpose and use of a meetrapport are to provide a defensible, auditable record for quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and informed decision making. It is used in contexts such as manufacturing, construction, environmental monitoring, and laboratory testing, and is related to but distinct from other documents like test reports, calibration certificates, and survey or site reports. Standards such as ISO/IEC 17025 guide the management and presentation of measurement results to ensure consistency and reliability.
