Metrology In Ensuring The Quality Of Products And Services In Digital Economy

Abstract

International and domestic experience shows that the level of metrological support for production of products and services is directly related to their quality. The reliability of determining the quality indicators of products and services that are subject to confirmation during its control primarily depends on the metrological support of measurements and control. Therefore, metrology is an important link in the system of ensuring the quality of products and services at all stages of the life cycle. In addition, metrology is a necessary tool for conducting research and implementing technological innovations. Rapid scientific and technological progress requires increasingly accurate and reliable measurements in the context of the digital economy. Therefore, metrology in its development should be ahead of other areas of science and technology. At the same time, the development of metrology is impossible without improving the regulatory framework. It is generally considered that the economic value of metrology is difficult to quantify, since it underlies many sectors of the economy. Metrology contributes to scientific and technological development, innovation, and international trade. Increasing investment in metrological research and related infrastructure contributes to increasing the competitiveness of the country's digital economy.
