TAMS EB Accomplishments Centralized funding under Deputy ED for METCAL program requirements Listed AIS requirements for single system in COUR. Prioritized requirements for system development from COUR and updated requirements. Established JNAC audit program with supporting directives and standards.

Current Issues Automated Information System single solution for Navy Calibration Freon Supply Shipboard Gage Calibration Program Course Rewrite Hydraulic Fluids in PPC Calibration Labeling Changes Pressure Test Chamber Calibration and Maintenance Multiple Calibration Interval use by SYSCOMs Laboratory Certification Standards – Should we transition from JNAC to ISO 17025?

R & D Program Mission We develop unique calibration solutions for our Warfighters through innovative research and development for emerging requirements. This ensures accurate. precise, reliable, and cost effective metrology support for weapons and systems.

R & D Program Objectives Develop Calibration standards not available commercially or from the other Services. Development of national calibration standards used by National Institute of Standards and Technology, and primary calibration standards used by the Navy Primary Standards Lab. Develop working level standards and improved METCAL processes.

Transition to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 “General Requirements for Competence of Testing and Calibration Labs” International Standard for Laboratory Accreditation/Certification Benefits: Current, internationally-recognized/utilized standard Navy lab certification now based on ANSI/NCSL Z540.1-1994 (cancelled in 2007) and Navy Guides Enables alignment with New NAVSEA Testing Lab Certification Rqmts (NAVSEAINST 4855.31A, May 2008) International Testing/Calibration Community Air Force/Army Calibration Programs Provides basis for centralizing Navy Calibration Program (common standard)

Transition to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 Improves accuracy of Navy calibrations Statistically based calibration data and measurement results Measurement uncertainty documented Reduces measurement decision risk (better test data to Navy Program Mgrs) Risk of Not Transitioning to 17025 Technical adequacy of calibration results limited (higher risk of incorrect test decisions) Isolates Navy Cal Program from Army/AF, Industry, and International Cal Community Navy Calibration labs not compliant with NAVSEA Testing Lab rqmts (4855.31A)
