Predstavnici Direkcije za mere i dragocene metale, Boris Baščarević i Ana Gajić, zaposleni u Grupi za informacione tehnologije 29. decembra 2020.godine učestvovali su putem video veze u radu radionice pod nazivom: ,,Kako do administrativnih postupaka koje razume svako", koju je organizovao Republički sekretarijat za javne politike. Radionici je prisustvovalo 60 predstavnika državnih institucija koje su učestvovale u projektu ePAPIR.

Radionica je imala za cilj da predstavi značaj buduće obaveze državnih organa da u registru redovno ažuriraju administrativne postupke koje primenjuju pružajući usluge iz svoje nadležnosti.

Posebno je naglašeno da svrha svakog administrativnog postupka mora biti opisana na jednostavan i jasan način kako bi i sam postupak bio razumljiv za svakog ko ga koristi. Na taj način usluge državnih organa postaju dostupnije i za privredu i za građane.

The representatives of the Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals Vanja Radojević Milošević, Head of the Legal, Human Resources, Operational, and IT Department; Jasmina Pavlović, Head of Group for Information Technologies; Ana Gajić and Boris Baščarević employees of the Group for Information Technologies participated in the work of the EURAMET Group for Communication on 16th of December via video link.
The meeting attended 35 representatives of the National Metrology Institutes (NMI). Participants exchanged current experiences in the field of communication, both internal and external with users and interested parties during pandemic as well as challenges which current situation brought.

On December 7, 2020 the International Bureau for Weight and Measures (BIPM) published 13 new calibration and measurement capabilities (CMCs) of Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals in the field of thermometry in KCDB 2.0. database.
For the first time calibration and measurement capability in the subfield of relative humidity of the Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals in calibration of all kinds of standards and measuring instruments of relative humidity was published. For all users of services, Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals officially confirmed provision of metrology traceability in the field of relative humidity in accordance with the Law on Metrology in the Republic of Serbia, as well as with the obligations of National Metrology Institutes within membership in European and international organizations.
Also in KCDB 2.0. calibration and measurement capability in the subfield of temperature was confirmed, namely in calibration of thermocouples of pure metals (Au/Pt, Pt/Rh), precious metals (S and R type) and all other types of metal thermocouples based upon significant results achieved in international comparison EURAMET.T-S3, https://www.bipm.org/kcdb/comparison?id=337. Today we can offer economy calibration of standard of the best accuracy class at the hardening temperature of copper (1084,61 оС) with total measurement uncertainty of 100 mK.

The representative of the Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals Mr. Slobodan Zelenika, Head of Group for length, optical quantities, and acoustics participated in the work of the EURAMET Technical Committee for Length TC-L (EURAMET TC-L) from 12th to 13th of October 2020. Meeting took place via video link.
The host of the meeting was the National Metrology Institute of Denmark (DFM). The meeting attended about 40 eminent experts, representatives of National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) and Designated Laboratories (DI) from the most of European countries.

The representative of the Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals Mrs. Dr Jelena Bebić, Head of Group for Metrology in Chemistry participated in the work of the BIPM virtual workshop on Accurate Monitoring of Surface Ozone. The workshop attended 72 participants from different countries from the world.
The reference method for ground-level ozone measurements is based on UV photometry, with replicates of the NIST Standard Reference Photometer (SRP) acting as primary standards for numerous national and international ozone-monitoring networks. Therefore, measurements of ozone amount fractions in ambient air are ultimately anchored to the value of the ozone absorption cross-section at the wavelength of 253.65 nm. A consensus value with the smallest uncertainty ever achieved was published in 2019. Global coordination is now required to implement the 2019 value, which will increase the measured atmospheric ozone concentrations.
The workshop aims to gather representatives of reference laboratories, monitoring networks, legislators, and ozone analyser manufacturers to develop a plan and timetable for the adoption of the 2019 value.
Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals has Reference Photometer for Ozone Assay - NIST SRP 54 (Standard Reference Photometer), which is the national standard of the Republic of Serbia in the field of measurement of ambient ozone concentration as well as internationally recognized calibration and measurement capabilities in this field published in BIPM CMC database

Meeting agenda

At the beginning of 2016 Group for volume and flow started development of calibration method for gas meters standards with liquid. Method development took place in several phases. The last phase, method validation was finished in May 2020.
Users of gas meter standard with liquid are laboratories for gas meters verification. Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals (DMDM) uses device for gas flow with critical nozzles, type TZKD 16, manufacturer JUSTUR, Slovakia, serial number: 787/2006 for calibration. Calibration is performed with direct comparison method in accordance with work instruction RU-309: Work instruction for calibration of gas meters standards with liquid using device with critical nozzles, version/edition 01/00, May 2020.
Measurements are performed in the premises of users of gas meters standards with liquid. Extended measurement uncertainty is 0,2%. Basic component of TZKD 16 device are critical nozzles (11 pieces, with different nominal flow, measuring range from 0,016 m3/h up to 7 m3/h). Critical nozzles were calibrated in SMU, Slovakia; humidity and temperature measuring instruments in DMDM, Serbia; pressure measuring instrument in HMI, Croatia which ensures traceability of measurement results to the International System of Units SI.

Representatives of Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals Mr. Slobodan Zelenika and Mrs. Gordana Stefanovic were active participants in EURAMET Technical committee for acoustics, ultrasound and vibrations (EURAMET TC-AUV) as well as in Subcommittee for sound in air (SC-A).
