Objectives
WP 8 serves to define the technical content of the VI for contact thermometry. It will contain a selection of guides to best practice in the use, measurement and standardisation and expertise thermal instrument and service suppliers database. It will input qualified data to the level 2 database and contain information relevant to specific industrial areas, standards, reports of meetings and latest developments. The technical content will be reviewed with potential industrial members to ensure that the most up-to-date technical and research data in contact thermometry are available for use by industry.
Description of Work Tasks
Task 8.0 To compile a list of key equipment manufacturers in Europe and link with the BIPM cmc database and European NMI Web sites; and to gather information related to new standard devices available in Europe in contact thermometry and compile a list of European universities and research institutions with active interest in the field.
Task 8.1 Development of tools to promote R&D projects in the field of contact thermometry in Europe. A database, used as a research partner tool, will be developed in order to promote the involvement of SMEs in R&D project relevant to contact thermometry. This task consists in determining the form and the content of the SME database and compiling relevant R&D projects for the medium term in Europe. This task will also include a description of interactive email hot line services to create virtual thematic clubs.
Task 8.2 To establish database content in terms of equipment and providers in Europe. This database will propose a tool for selecting sensors and equipment for calibration or testing. The software interface will be set up for easy searching by industrial needs. The task consists in determining the form and the content of this database with a view to compiling relevant testing resources, equipment and calibration devices.
Task 8.3 An online library of best practice guides will be defined for calibration, verification and use for temperature measurement devices. Technical accreditation rules in Europe will be listed. This project will also cover legal metrology requirements concerning clinical thermometers and thermometers used for temperature measurement in the cold chain of perishable products. This task consists in compiling and selecting a list of existing best practice guides for measurement techniques, standardisation and calibration in accordance with the general content policy adopted in WP 1.
Task 8.4 An online library of best practice guides for on-site measurement and special equipment will be defined. It will focus, for example, on areas such as climatic chamber and sterilisation chamber evaluation procedures, and the list of specifications relevant to these and similar devices in other fields of activity. This task consists in compiling and selecting existing best practice guides for measurement techniques and standardisation in accordance with the general content policy adopted in WP 1
Task 8.5 An online library of software Validation Tools will be elaborated. A general procedure for the validation of the software used in temperature laboratory & reference data sets for validation of calculation modules will be produced.
Deliverables
D8.0 to D8.5 Sets of data compiled in tasks 8.0 to 8.5 for review on pre-release EVITherM web site – months* 12 - 30
D8.6 Approved compiled data reviewed for phased insertion into the live EVITherM web site – months* 12 - 30
Milestones and criteria
M8.0 Draft report defining the form and the content of the EVITherM database as regards contact thermometry - month 9
M8.1 Sets of data compiled in tasks 8.1 to 8.5 for review on pre-release EVITherM web site - months* 12 - 30
M8.2 Phased completion of approved inputs to EVITherM live website - months* 12 - 30
* Note. A plan defining the target dates for phasing information generated within this WP into the EVITherM website will be developed by the steering committee in WP1 during the first 6 months of the project
Interrelation with other work-packages
WP8 depends on WP1 (general definition, review and harmonisation of technical content) and interacts with WP2 and WP3 as necessary in order that the needs of industry are addressed. WP8 will also be developed in conjunction with the other scientific workpackages to ensure that interrelated technical issues are adequately covered and appropriate links between corresponding themes are incorporated in the EVITHerM web site.
