International Compatibility of Measurement Standards The task of the BIPM is to ensure world-wide uniformity of measurements and their traceability to the International System of Units (SI). Intergovernmental Organization Headquarters with Laboratories Consultative Committees with experts from National Metrology Institutes International Comparisons of Standards and Measurement Capabilities Joint Committees with other Organizations BIPM - 2011 2
Measurement Standards not Normative Written Standards, but Global System of Comparisons CIPM-MRA Technical basis for: -Determination of the degree of equivalence of measurement standards -Mutual recognition of calibration and measurement certificates Bureau International des Poids et Mesures

Diagnostics Industry: Measurement Needs Global comparability very important ISO 17511 the way forward Higher order reference methods for proteins, especially those based on mass spectrometry Higher order reference materials, especially for troponin, hcg, hepatitis and HIV antibodies Reference measurement procedures for common immunoassays troponin a good starting point Characterisation of structural heterogeneity, especially glycans need to properly define the measurand
Bio-pharmaceutical Industry: Measurement Needs Well-characterised protein reference standards for comparable PTM measurements across analytical platforms Standards for water content of bio-pharma products Pure amino acid calibrators to underpin product characterisation Standards and best practice methods for glycan profiling Improved methods for tertiary structural measurements Improved MS methods for peptide mapping
Joint Committees Committees of the BIPM and other international organizations, created for particular tasks of common interest. JCTLM Joint Committee for Traceability in Laboratory Medicine. The goal of the JCTLM is to provide a worldwide platform to promote and give guidance on internationally recognized and accepted equivalence of measurements in laboratory medicine and traceability to appropriate measurement standards. JCGM Joint Committee for Guides in Metrology. BIPM, IEC, IFCC, ILAC, ISO, IUPAC, IUPAP, OIML The tasks of the JCGM are to maintain and promote the use of the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (known as the GUM) and the International Vocabulary of Basic and General Terms in Metrology (known as the VIM). DCMAS Network Network on Metrology, Accreditation and Standardization for Developing Countries. BIPM - 2011 20
JOINT COMMITTEE for TRACEABILITY in LABORATORY MEDICINE (JCTLM) Declaration of co-operation establishing A framework for the international recognition of available higherorder reference materials, measurement procedures and reference measurement laboratories Bureau International des Poids et Mesures
... the traceability of values assigned to calibrators and control materials must be assured through available reference measurement procedures and/or reference materials of a higher order... Annex 1 (3) 2nd para IVD Manufacturers have requested that NMIs develop internationally recognized reference methods and CRMs to meet this assist them in meeting this traceability requirement.
