UNIDO Conducts Training on Calibration Procedure Finalization at NBSM
25 July 2025
Yerevan, Armenia – July 21–25, 2025 – As part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen Armenia’s national quality infrastructure, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), within the framework of the European Union-funded “Support to Quality Infrastructure in Armenia” project, conducted a specialized five-day training on Time and Frequency Metrology for four staff members of the National Body for Standards and Metrology (NBSM).
The training aimed to enhance NBSM’s technical capacity in the time and frequency calibration, and to support the laboratory’s implementation of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standards in preparation for accreditation.
The program included a combination of theoretical instruction and hands-on practical exercises. Under the international expert’s guidance, the participants worked on time and frequency measurements, evaluation of measurement uncertainty, drafting of calibration certificates, and development of time and frequency calibration procedures.
A core focus of the training was to finalize calibration procedures, conduct complete process of calibration and prepare the Time and frequency laboratory staff for accreditation.
As an additional contribution, the expert provided a frequency generator to support a comparison in the field of frequency measurements. Measurements carried out by NBSM staff will be compared with those from the expert’s laboratory. The results will then be evaluated, giving opportunity to demonstrate the competence of the NBSM staff.
The "Support to Quality Infrastructure in Armenia" project, funded by the European Union and implemented by UNIDO, is dedicated to strengthening NBSM’s role in providing sustainable and internationally recognized metrology services. By reinforcing Armenia’s legal, institutional, and technical frameworks for metrology, the initiative contributes to the country’s efforts in advancing economic diversification and trade competitiveness, aligning with the objective of the Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with the EU.
