Comprehensive Guide to OIML R76-1 Calibration of Precision Mass Standards Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

OIML (International Organization for Legal Metrology) R76-1 is a standard that governs the calibration of precision mass standards. This standard is developed and maintained by the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM), which is responsible for ensuring global uniformity in measurement standards.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The OIML R76-1 standard is based on the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard, which requires laboratories to demonstrate their competence in performing specific tests and calibrations. The standard also references the EURAMET (European Association of National Metrology Institutes) guidelines for calibration of precision mass standards.

International and National Standards

The OIML R76-1 standard is applicable internationally and has been adopted by many countries, including the European Union, the United States, Japan, China, and India. The standard is also referenced in various national regulations and standards, such as:
