2 BUREAU INTERNATIONAL DES POIDS ET MESURES The BIPM is an intergovernmental organization established by the Metre Convention, through which Member States act together on matters related to measurement science and measurement standards. The mission of the BIPM is to ensure and promote the global comparability of measurements, including providing a coherent international system of units for: Scientific discovery and innovation, Industrial manufacturing and international trade Sustaining the quality of life and the global environment. Working with National Metrology Institutes and other Stakeholders from around the world: 55 Member States 38 Associates

3 CIPM Consultative Committee Structure CIPM BIPM Other International Organizations (Governmental and NGOs) CCAUV Acoustics, Ultrasound and Vibration JCGM: Guides in Metrology CCEM CCL CCM CCPR CCQM CCRI CCT CCTF CCU Electricity and Magnetism Length Mass and Related Quantities Photometry and Radiometry Amount of Substance (Chemistry and Biology) Ionizing Radiation Thermometry Time and Frequency Units JCRB: CIPM-MRA JCTLM: Traceability in Laboratory Medicine DCMAS Network: Developing Economies

21 Visits to the JCTLM Database of the last 4 years 1000 to 1400 visits per month Visit = Extended consultation of web pages

22 JCTLM Database Status December 2013 Certified Reference Materials Total number of entries is 299 among which - 33 are in List II (non-si traceable ), and 3 in List III (nominal properties) - 35% of the listed items are high purity materials (was 25% in 2012)

23 JCTLM Database Status December 2013 Certified Reference Materials

24 JCTLM Database Status December 2013 Reference measurement methods/procedures Analyte Category Number of submissions listed Number of Matrix Analyte Number of Analytes Blood cell counting (2013) Blood gases Blood groupings Coagulation factors Drugs Electrolytes Enzymes Metabolites and Substrates (2013) 44 (1) Microbial serology Non Electroyte Metals Non-peptide Hormones Nucleic acids Proteins (2013) 19 (-1) 16 (-1) 16 (-1) Vitamins Total :

25 JCTLM Database Status December 2013 Reference measurement methods/procedures In 2012 publication of two outstanding Blood Cell Counting Methods, and in 2013 Total protein measurement method placed in the list of no longer listed methods.

26 Relevant ISO Standards for higher order RMs and RMPs ISO 17511:2003 In vitro diagnostic medical devices - Measurement of quantities in biological samples - Metrological traceability of values assigned to calibrators and control materials ISO 18153:2003 Metrological traceability of values for catalytic concentration of enzymes assigned to calibrators and control materials ISO 15193:2009 Requirements for content and presentation of reference measurement procedures ISO 15194:2009 Requirements for certified reference materials and the content of supporting documentation ISO 15195:2003 Reference Measurement Laboratories

32 Resources required to operate the JCTLM

33 Resources required to operate the JCTLM per year JCTLM Body Number of man-days Executive 16 WG Chairs 10 Secretariat 85 Review Teams Secretariat activities co-funded on 50:50 basis by IFCC and BIPM (since 2004) - Maintaining review process - Includes database maintenance Financial support for US based meetings provided by NIST Review Teams work on voluntary basis with no reimbursement of travel expenses

34 JCTLM Database going forward 1. JCTLM Database is at a stage of steady growth/ state, e.g. 300 Certified Reference Materials listed (89% SI traceable; 10% non-si traceable; 1% nominal properties); 1200 visits to the JCTLM Database per month 40 to 60 nominations of CRMs received a year for review 2. Number of JCTLM listed Reference Laboratories is expected to increase Strong growth in numbers from Asia (based on IFCC-RELA participation) Numbers in Europe are steady (may increase incrementally) North/South America? 3. Current process heavily dependent on Coordination activities of the JCTLM Secretariat Volunteer time of Review Team Members

35 JCTLM going forward 1. Does the JCTLM database constitute a valuable database for the IVD sector and industry? 2. Is the JCTLM structure sufficiently inclusive? 3. Is the model of 3 sponsoring organizations and 26 member organizations still correct? 4. Can we attract more organizations to support the JCTLM? 5. Are the JCTLM processes and way of working still appropriate? 6. Should the JCTLM refocus its activities? 7. Can the JCTLM attract further financial support from interested organizations? 8. Are there other funding models that would be appropriate and feasible?
