OIML Certification System (OIML-CS)
Colombia, October 2017
OIML Certificates
• OIML Certificates of Conformity and their associated OIML Type Evaluation Reports are issued for types of measuring instruments based on the requirements of OIML Recommendations
• Currently there are two types of OIML Certificates:
– Basic
– Mutual Acceptance Arrangement (MAA)

1991: Basic Certificate System
Voluntary recognition of OIML Test Reports as the
basis for national or regional approvals
No proof of competence of participating Test
Laboratories of Issuing Authorities
2005: Mutual Acceptance Arrangement (MAA)
Signatories agree to recognize OIML Test Reports as
the basis for national or regional approvals
Proof of competence of participating Test
Laboratories by accreditation or peer assessment
(ISO/IEC 17025)

Shortcomings identified at the seminar
• Unsatisfactory level of acceptance of OIML MAA Certificates
• Unsatisfactory level of participation in the MAA
• Unsatisfactory number (3) of categories of measuring instruments / modules after seven years of MAA
• Unsatisfactory management structures to handle the MAA and open it for more categories and participants
• Parallel operation of the MAA and Basic Certificate Systems confuses stakeholders one single system desirable
• Unclear role of Utilizing Participants
• Unsatisfactory awareness of the MAA and lack of support for potential new Issuing or Utilizing Participants

CIML Resolutions towards a new OIML-CS
“MAA Resolutions” approved at the CIML meeting
2013:
1. … to raise awareness for the various stakeholders
2. … to review the structure, rules and procedures
3. … to achieve one single certification system

Development of the new OIML-CS
• OIML MAA Seminar and CIML Meeting in 2013
• Ad-hoc Working Group (AHWG) created to review the MAA
• AHWG presented its recommendations for a new OIML-CS to the 2015 CIML Meeting
• In 2015 the CIML adopted the key principles for a single"OIML Certification System" (OIML-CS)
• An OIML-CS Project Group was created to develop the Framework for the new OIML-CS, along with drafts of the Operational & Procedural Documents
• Framework B 18 was approved at the 2016 CIML Meeting
• Implementation is planned for January 2018
• Will replace the existing Basic and MAA Systems

OIML B 18 – OIML-CS Framework
11
OIML Certification System (OIML-CS)
Colombia, October 2017
Principles of the OIML-CS
• The OIML-CS is a voluntary system and OIML Member States and Corresponding Members are free to participate or not
• The Framework (OIML B 18) establishes the rules whereby signatories voluntarily accept and utilize OIML type evaluation reports, when associated with an OIML Certificate issued by an OIML Issuing Authority, for type approval or recognition in their national or regional metrological controls
12
OIML Certification System (OIML-CS)
Colombia, October 2017
Principles of the OIML-CS
The OIML-CS will be a single Certification System with two Schemes for certain measuring instrument categories:
“Scheme A”
“Scheme B”
13
OIML Certification System (OIML-CS)
Colombia, October 2017
Scope of the OIML-CS
• Measuring instrument categories, for which OIML Recommendations specify:– metrological and technical requirements (“Part 1”),– test procedures (“Part 2”), and– test report format (“Part 3”),
will initially be placed in Scheme B.• After a two year transition period these measuring
instrument categories will be transferred automatically into Scheme A.
• There can be exceptions with longer or shorter transition periods.
• Intention for all relevant instrument categories to be in Scheme A

Participation in the OIML-CS
• For OIML Issuing Authorities and their Test
Laboratories the requirements for Scheme A and
Scheme B are the same, i.e. compliance with ISO/IEC
17065 and ISO/IEC 17025 respectively
• However, the evaluation of compliance is different:– For participation in Scheme B, it is sufficient to
demonstrate compliance on the basis of “self-
declaration”.
– For participation in Scheme A, compliance is
demonstrated on the basis of accreditation or peer
assessment.
16

Participation in the OIML-CS
• The Declarations of Mutual Confidence (DoMCs)
under the current MAA will be replaced by a
Declaration for each participant
• OIML Issuing Authorities will declare their scope for
which measuring instrument categories they will issue
OIML certificates
• Utilizers/Associates will declare their scope for which
measuring instrument categories they will accept and
utilize OIML Certificates and the associated type
evaluation reports

• Existing MAA and Basic certificates will remain valid, and OIML-CS participants can declare conditions under which they will accept existing certificates and type evaluation reports
• Existing test data can be used for issuing OIML-CS certificates under certain conditions

Benefits for the different operators
OIML Certification System (OIML-CS)
Colombia, October 2017 47
Issuingauthority
• Acceptance of the certificates on an international level (in all utilizer- and associates-countries)
• Being more attractive for manufacturers from the whole world
• Choice of demonstrating competence by peer assessment or accreditation
• Working on the basis of internationally agreed requirements
• Higher degree of capacity utilization possible
Benefits for the different operators
OIML Certification System (OIML-CS)
Colombia, October 2017 48
Customer
• Higher reliance on measuring instruments
• Measurements can be compared on international level, e.g. exhaust gas analyzers (interesting especially for companies working in several countries)
• Maybe lower prices for measuring instruments, as the manufacturers save much money (no duplicate testing; easier approval procedures!)
• Measuring instruments are prepared for national metrological control
Benefits for the different operators
OIML Certification System (OIML-CS)
Colombia, October 2017 49
The new OIML-CS represents a certification system for the whole (OIML) world.
The benefits are:
• international harmonized requirements for measuring instruments
• highly reduced bureaucratic efforts saving time and money
• more trust in a worldwide system of mutual recognition
