  2. Activity 1.1 Chemical MetrologyU.S. Coordination • Activity 1.1.1: Chemical Metrology Workshops and comparisons, training and publication of chemical comparison results and other chemical metrology activities • Activity 1.1.2: Pilot studies with training and comparisons in selected areas of chemical metrology having impact on trade, health and environmental issues. • Training: At least 2 Pilot studies and comparisons activities per year with an average of 26 participations per activity. • Travel: Workshops and Seminar lecturers an average of 4 per activity • Documents: Publication of workshop and seminar results, chemical comparisons results and other chemical metrology activities results. • Equipment: Comparisons will be carried out in selected areas of chemical metrology that have the greater impact on trade, health and environmental issues. It includes reference materials and measurement artifacts. • Others: Cost for copying results, shipping cost of reference materials and measurement artifacts, and custom fees.

  3. Activity 1.1 Chemical MetrologyU.S. Coordination • Workshop:Conceptualize a practical system for the dissemination of traceable chemical measurements on country and/or regional level • Ecuador 7-8 May 2007 • SIM Participants: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia, Dominica, Grenada, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Paraguay, Panamá, Peru, Uruguay, USA • Chemical Metrology WG Symposium at GA: • participating countries asked to present a Poster on activities.

  4. Activity 1.2 Physical MetrologyUruguay Coordination • Activity 1.2.1: Training and comparisons in Physical Metrology Areas (Time & Frequency Metrology, Flow Metrology, Electricity and Magnetism Metrology, Mass and related quantities, Temperature Metrology, Ionizing Radiation, Dimensional Metrology, Photometry and Radiometry Metrology, Acoustics and Vibration Metrology. Meetings, Training, and comparison programs for the 9 metrology technical areas • Training: At least 2 seminars in the area of physical metrology will be carried out. About 30 participants, at least one from each SIM country will attend the seminars. • Training: Workshops on Comparison exercises in physical metrology will be performed with participation of at least 30 SIM representatives. This can include comparison exercises in the areas of temperature, pressure, mass, among others. • Travel: Seminar and Workshop lecturers and instructors travel 2 per seminar and for the workshops. • Documents: SIM publications related to physical metrology activities, results including physical comparison results. • Equipment: Comparisons will be carried out in selected areas of physical metrology that have the greater impact on trade, health and environmental issues. It includes reference materials and measurement artifacts. • Others: Cost for copying results, shipping cost of reference materials and measurement artifacts, and custom fees

  5. Activity 1.2 Physical MetrologyUruguay Coordination • Technical Committee Meeting (NCSLI) July 2007 • Mass group meeting: November • IR- Meeting: November (U.S. NIST) • Quality System Working Group: November (LACOMET Costa Rica) • Workshop on “SIM Guidelines on the calibration of non-Automatic weighting machines” (also supports Activity 1.4): November (LACOMET Costa Rica) • Metrología de presión con aplicación especial a balanzas de presión”: December (joint PTB and INDECOPi in Peru) • Workshop on Selected topics in dimensional Metrology: January 2008 (Panama CENAMEP)

  6. Activity 1.3 CommunicationsU.S. Coordination • Cooperation, training, comparisons and seminars using the internet and video conferencing for the Time and Frequency Network • Equipment: Software, licenses and documentation for the users of the GPS linked

  8. Activity 1.4 Legal MetrologyMexico Coordinating • Assistance and training in basic legal metrology: Seminars, Workshops and Courses in strategic areas for commerce, environment protection and health. • Training: Two seminars on Legal Metrology will be held supporting the participation of at least 24 experts from the 4 SIM sub regions. • Travel: Seminar lecturers travel 2 per seminar. • Documents: SIM publications related to legal metrology activities. • Equipment: Comparisons will be carried out in selected areas of legal metrology that have the greater impact on trade, health and environmental issues. It includes reference materials and measurement artifacts. • Others: Cost for copying results, shipping cost of reference materials and measurement artifacts, and custom fees.

  9. Activity 1.4 Legal MetrologyMexico Coordinating • PTB Plans a training course on prepackaged products: October (Honduras,  SIM LMWG Chair proposed joining efforts.) • Workshop to establish SIM-Guidelines on non-automatic weighting instruments: November (Costa Rica LACOMET) (also supports Activity 1.2) • It is expected that this document will help to harmonize the calibration procedures for weighting instruments in the Americas. • Sphygnomanometers and elastic element manometers: December (Trinidad and Tobago Bureau of Standards(TBC)) • Course in Legal Metrolgy Jan/Feb 2008 (TBC)
