Kassensoftware stellt in vielen Fällen den Verbindungspunkt zwischen Kunde und Waage dar. Gleichzeitig ist die Kasse auch der Berührungspunkt der heutigen digitalen Welt und der klassischen Messtechnik. Gerade für Entwickler von Kassensoftware ist dieses Umfeld meistens Neuland. Daher sollen in diesem Workshop die Grundlagen des gesetzlichen Messwesens sowie Anforderungen an Kassensysteme und Software verständlich vermitteln werden. Der Workshop soll die Teilnehmer dazu befähigen, ihre Dokumentation für den Zulassungsprozess effizienter und gezielter erstellen zu können. Gleichzeitig sollen...

Der Schutz der Verbraucher vor gefährlichen technischen Produkten ist das oberste Ziel der Marktüberwachungsbehörden. Für die Marktüberwachung sind in Deutschland die Bundesländer zuständig. Eine effiziente Marktüberwachungstätigkeit bedarf daher einer bundesweiten Koordination. Die PTB unterstützt im Rahmen von Marktaufsichtsfällen u.a. bei technischen Fragen zu explosionsgeschützten Produkten.

Bereits zum neunten Mal seit 2006 trafen sich die Mitarbeiter der ATEX Marktaufsichtsbehörden in der PTB zum Erfahrungsaustausch. An den beiden Veranstaltungstagen wurden einerseits aktuelle...

Die Revision beinhaltet neben der...

The workshop is jointly organized by BAM and PTB and provides a forum for discussion on progress in development, characterization and application of reference nanomaterials. Results of recently finished national and international research projects will be presented. Moreover, the need for future developments will be addressed. Experts from academia, research institutes, regulatory bodies and industry working or interested in the area of reference nanomaterials will participate. The main focus of the first day is on reference material needs and development, while the second day will focus on...

EURAMET’s European Metrology Research Programme, EMPIR, will issue a call on ‘Metrology for Health’ at the beginning of 2018. In preparation for the call, EURAMET’s Task Group for Health is organising a workshop and networking meeting. It aims to bring together stakeholders in the area of health, including international experts in medicine, academia and industry and the measurement community. The event will be held at PTB Berlin, Germany, on 12 and 13 December 2017.
"The aim of the workshop is to encourage closer interaction with stakeholders. By having this crucial input from experts in...

Due to the withdrawal from the nuclear energy programme and the concurrent need to reduce fossile combustibles and carbon dioxide emissions, many sources of renewable energy have to be installed. Among these are water and solar energy power plants, but to a large extend also wind turbine (WT) installations. In the end of 2016 as many as 27.270 wind turbines with a power of 45.900 MW had been installed in Germany (source: WindGuard GmbH). For efficiency reasons, WT become taller and taller and now reach that airspace, in which RADAR and terrestrial navigation systems operate. For safe operation...

The European X-ray Spectrometry Association in cooperation with the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt and the Technical University Berlin organizes this event to support their objectives to promote innovation and cooperation of X-ray spectroscopists and analysts within Europe.

Recognized experts will give lectures and Hands-on trainings in the following topics:

Following two workshops “Operating Systems in Measurement Instruments and other software Problems in Legal Metrology“, and „Protection of Measurement Data in Legal Metrology and Related Challenges” which were very well received by the international metrological community, another two-day Workshop will again cover contemporary challenges and chances regarding software and IT in Legal Metrology under the guiding theme: „Advanced technology meets daily practice“.

IT technologies have evolved significantly over the past ten years – namely Embedded Systems, the Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber...

This workshop aims to define future challenges and directions within the scope of metrology for brachytherapy. The workshop will provide a forum for the exchange of information, ideas and expertise in the field of brachytherapy in the community with experts from metrology, medical physics, radiation oncology, radiobiology as well as vendors.

The current status of brachytherapy in clinics and hospitals, quality assurance, calibration services and the current and future potentials of technological improvements and medical physics innovations will be reviewed in the light of future demands on...

The Si-kg workshop was addressed to invited National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) and Designated Institutes (DIs) and illustrated the dissemination of the SI unit kilogram via silicon spheres.

It was a great pleasure to meet with almost 100 NMI representatives and mass experts from 44 countries.

Besides oral presentations, leading managers and operators from all around the world were provided with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in handling Si spheres. This included cleaning, weighing on mass comparators, transportation and safekeeping, among other things. In addition, a new...
