Abstract
Paul De Bievre interacted with the Australian national measurement system in the 1990s as it developed its chemical measurement system infrastructure. It was a fruitful and stimulating time when practical measurement—weights and measures in its modern forms—mixed with the ideas of metrology in chemistry. Among the issues discussed were accreditation, a new journal called accreditation and quality assurance (this journal, ACQUAL), clear and accurate communication in measurement, primary methods of measurement and basic principles of metrology in chemistry. I end commenting on the applicability of the practical metrology in chemistry perspective to the development of an international trading system in carbon and its credits: the weights and measures problem of the twenty-first century.
Paul De Bievre在20世纪90年代与澳大利亚国家测量系统进行了互动,因为它开发了化学测量系统基础设施。当实用的计量——现代形式的重量和度量衡——与化学计量思想相结合时,这是一个富有成果和令人振奋的时代。讨论的问题包括认证、名为认证和质量保证的新期刊(本期刊,ACQUAL)、测量中清晰准确的沟通、测量的主要方法和化学计量的基本原理。最后,我评论了从化学角度出发的实用计量在发展碳及其信用的国际贸易体系中的适用性:二十一世纪的度量衡问题。
期刊介绍:
Accreditation and Quality Assurance has established itself as the leading information and discussion forum for all aspects relevant to quality, transparency and reliability of measurement results in chemical and biological sciences. The journal serves the information needs of researchers, practitioners and decision makers dealing with quality assurance and quality management, including the development and application of metrological principles and concepts such as traceability or measurement uncertainty in the following fields: environment, nutrition, consumer protection, geology, metallurgy, pharmacy, forensics, clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, and microbiology.
