| Abstract | Legal metrology embraces the regulation and control of measuring instruments (MI) used in a diversity of applications including industry, transportation, commerce, medical care and environment protection [3]. Only in Europe, MI are responsible for an annual turnover of more than 500 billion Euros [1]. In developing countries, MI demand has increased substantially due to the adoption of technologies and methods well established in developed countries [3]. MI also can be seen as elementary build blocks for new technologies such as smart grids, Internet of Things and cyber physical systems [1, 2]. Thus legal metrology is crucial to assure the correctness of measurements, protecting the economic system while regulating consumer relations and enhances MI reliability [2]. |
