Activities of the State Register

By going to the section “State Register of Approved Types of Measuring Instruments”, you can learn about the purpose of the State Register of Measures.
The State Register of SI, in turn, consists of the following sections:
1. Measuring instruments, the types of which are approved by Rosstandart;
2. Certificate of approval of the type of measuring instruments;
3. Single copies of measuring instruments, the types of which are approved by Rosstandart;
4. State centers for testing measuring instruments, accredited by Rosstandart.
The main goals of maintaining the State Register of Measuring Instruments are as follows:
1. Accounting for measuring instruments of approved types and creating centralized funds of information data on measuring instruments approved for production, release into circulation and use in the Russian Federation;
2. Registration of accredited GCI SI;
3. Accounting for issued certificates of approval of the type of measuring instruments and certificates of accredited GCI measuring instruments;
4. Taking into account standard testing programs for measuring instruments for the purpose of type approval;
5. Organization of information services for interested legal entities and individuals, including national metrological services of countries participating in cooperation on mutual recognition of test results and type approval of measuring instruments.

Certificate

For each type of measuring instrument registered in the State Register of Measuring Instruments the following information is contained: name of the measuring instrument; registration number, consisting of the serial number of state registration and the last two digits of the year of type approval; purpose of SI; manufacturer country; manufacturer and his details; name of the State Testing Center; certificate validity period; interverification interval; verification method.

Intelligence

Each type of measuring instrument is approved by Rosstandart on the basis of testing of measuring instruments, which are carried out by State Testing Centers for measuring instruments.
Maintaining the State Register of Measuring Instruments is entrusted to the All-Russian Research Institute of Metrological Service. Information on approved types of measuring instruments approved for use in the Russian Federation, included in the State Register of Measuring Instruments.
Information on approved types of measuring instruments approved for use in the Russian Federation can be found on the website: www.fundmetrology.ru.
This site provides the opportunity to search for the required type of measuring instruments. To do this, you must indicate the number in the State Register, type or name, manufacturer.

To date, the information presented on the site was last updated on 01/01/2017. Information about approved types of measuring instruments approved for use in the Russian Federation, provided on the website www.fundmetrology.ru, is available to anyone absolutely free of charge.

Any chemical, physical, technological process is accompanied by control by measuring equipment. For example, gas or water consumption, changes in voltage, current, increase or decrease in the temperature of the surface of an object or body, calculation of length and weight, as well as other parameters. And the more accurate these indicators are, the more accurately you can control the ongoing processes and, if necessary, correct any deviations in a timely manner. Therefore, all measuring instruments undergo periodic testing, comparison with reference samples, and metrological verification. In order to systematize the equipment available in the country and incoming new products, special registers are created, which provide complete information about each type of device. Let's look at how to use the official website of the State Register of Measuring Instruments in more detail.

What is the State Register?

The State Register of Measuring Instruments is a document that most fully presents all the necessary information about each type of measuring equipment. It is a section of the Federal Information Fund, where computing tools approved by Rosstandart are registered. The State Register of Measurement Measurements of the Russian Federation, in accordance with Federal Law No. 102-FZ “On Ensuring the Uniformity of Measurements”, has the status of a document that confirms that any equipment from the list has state registration, has passed all types of inspections and tests, and the necessary technical standards and metrological methods have been developed for it verification.

Attention! Any equipment included in the State Register of SI is considered permitted for use in Russia.

The document database contains the following parameters and information:

• name and designation of equipment;
• time interval between mandatory verifications;
• name of the document type (GOST or TU);
• number in the State Register (to speed up the search);
• title of the document on the verification of measuring instruments;
• country name and equipment manufacturer.

Using one of the positions, you can quickly find the required calculation tool in the search of the internal portal system. The updated classifier made it possible to expand the database and include new SIs that appear with the development of innovative technologies of scientific and technological progress. The state register looks like this:

If necessary, you can obtain a description of the SI type by number in the State Register. To do this, just click on it with the mouse.

Document structure

The register has a multi-level nested system with a large number of headings. This is done for ease of searching. It is necessary to select the area of ​​application of SI, then the genus, then the family. That is, the lower the level, the more specific. The lowest levels are SI types and families. All tools are systematized into two main types:

• destination area;
• measurement area.

Purpose of the State Register

The document database was created to provide complete information to interested individuals and legal entities not only in Russia, but also in foreign countries that supply their equipment. It was necessary to correlate test results and approve the measuring instrument.

Purpose of the document:

• approval and recording of test programs;
• registration of all accredited testing centers;
• state registration of issued certificates and accredited centers for accounting and control;
• creation of centralized information funds on the territory of the Russian Federation.

The All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Metrological Service (VNIIMS) controls all changes and is responsible for maintaining the register. The information is publicly available. Anyone can obtain the necessary information about the State Register of Measuring Instruments on the official website of VNIIMS by typing vniims.ru in the search engine.

A convenient interface with a large number of tabs will make it easy to find the necessary parameters. To search for equipment in the State Register of Measuring Instruments on the official website fundmetrology.ru, you need to fill out a special form indicating the necessary parameters, indicating the number, type, and manufacturer of the equipment. The form is located at the top right of the screen.

Measurements approved by Rosstandart are tested in special State or accredited centers, and only after that they are entered into the State Register.

Classification of computing tools

The main concepts in metrology are physical parameter and measurement. Physical parameters include characteristics of objects, such as: mass, volume, pressure, power, length and other analogues. Measurement is the process of calculating a physical parameter using various devices and comparing it with a reference sample. The means of measurement are the instruments used to determine the unit of physical quantity.

The SI is the instrument by which measurements are made. At the same time, it has some metrological parameters. Measuring instruments can be:

• measure, that is, to describe any size or physical quantity;
• device, means a means for calculating a value or parameter;
• a converter, a tool used to transmit the generated signal in another format;
• a system that includes several means to generate the required signal.

Measuring equipment is also classified by level of automation, and there are:

• manual;
• automatic;
• partially automated.

Functional division into groups according to metrological indicators:

• standards;
• work tool.

Measuring instruments are also auxiliary and basic. All these types of classifications must take into account the features of SI.

Measurement Unity Foundation

According to Federal Law No. 102, the Federal Information Fund was created, which ensured the unity of calculations.

The information fund contains:

• complete regulatory framework of the Russian Federation with relevant documentation;
• information base, including international treaties and related documentation;
• information about certified measurement methods;
• a generalized list of existing measurements on the scale of government supervision;
• information about standards and reference materials;
• set of SI verification results.

6.2. Information from the State Register is published in periodicals of the State Standard of Russia and special information collections (indexes, reference books, catalogues).

The State Register of Measuring Instruments is a state document confirming that the device and its manufacturer have passed the necessary verification procedures, on the basis of which the device is included in the list of measuring devices for which official technical standards and metrological verification rules have been established.

The State Register has the following sections:

measuring instruments, the types of which are approved by Rostekhregulirovanie;

certificates of type approval of measuring instruments;

measuring instruments for military purposes, the types of which are approved by Rostekhregulirovanie;

single copies of measuring instruments, the types of which are approved by Rostekhregulirovanie;

state testing centers for measuring instruments accredited by Rostechregulirovanie;

The State Register of Measuring Instruments keeps records of measuring instruments of approved types. It creates databases of devices approved for production, release and circulation in Russia, registers accredited state centers for testing devices, keeps records of issued certificates of device type approval and certificates of accredited state centers for testing measuring instruments. From the register you can find out about the standard testing programs for devices from which they are awarded one or another type. It is freely available on the Internet. The state register also organizes information services for interested legal entities and individuals, including national metrological services of countries participating in cooperation on mutual recognition of test results and type approval of measuring instruments.

State verification of measuring instruments - determining the error of the device (or determining that the error is within acceptable limits) and establishing its suitability for use.

In Russia, verification activities are regulated by the Law of the Government of the Russian Federation of June 26, 2008 N 102-FZ “On ensuring the uniformity of measurements” and many other by-laws. Responsibility for improper performance of verification work and failure to comply with the requirements of the relevant regulatory documents lies with the relevant body of the State Metrological Service or the legal entity whose metrological service performed the verification work.

Positive results of verification of measuring instruments are certified by a verification mark or verification certificate.

It is imperative to distinguish between the concepts of calibration and verification.

Calibration of measuring instruments is a set of operations performed to determine the actual values ​​​​obtained by the device. During these operations, the device can be adjusted, and correction factors (or constant values) are determined. In the future, these results can be used during verification.

Verification of measuring instruments - checking the device for compliance with metrological requirements. That is, whether the measurement error of the device falls within the approved tolerance. If the result is positive, then a Verification Certificate is issued. If not, then calibration or even repair is necessary.

RemonTeR said:

SETL AT-24D devices imported into the territory of the Russian Federation, after the expiration of the certificate, are nothing more than counterfeit

There is some confusion of concepts here.
Counterfeit- It's a fake copy.
SETL AT-24D devices, judging by the website of the manufacturer, Tiangin SETL Survey Equipment Co, are produced:
http://www.setlsurvey.com/en/ProductSho ... icleID=202
If someone imports them, produced by SETL, and not by the family “knee” cooperative Fan (in compliance with the necessary customs procedures) into Russia, then this is in no way counterfeit.
Can they be used? Of course, as much as you like, but only until they fall into the sphere metrological control. There is no valid type approval certificate for these devices. "Legality" mentioned above RemonTeR, denotes precisely the legality of using a certain piece of iron as a means of measurement within the “Russian metrological space”. The layout of paths on your site by construction workers-guest workers, for example, is outside the Russian metrological space, which does not prevent, for example, foreman Shamil from approaching his acquaintance Igor privately at the service center and performing adjustments.

RemonTeR said:

if these devices were imported after 06/01/2010, such a device cannot pass verification

If the device passes type approval tests and receives a type approval certificate, then it can.
A measuring device (measuring instrument, hereinafter referred to as SI) is a device designed to obtain information about the value of a certain physical quantity in a certain established range.
Measurement range is the range of values ​​of a quantity within which SI errors are normalized (i.e., the deviation of the measurement result of a quantity from the true value of this quantity.
Type of measuring instrument - a set of measuring instruments of the same purpose, having the same design and principle of operation.
Another thing is who will do this? When a type approval certificate was in force for devices with the SETL trademark, they could be imported into the country in various ways with great success (not about that now), and make a profit from the sales of metrologically covered devices. Not everyone liked it (we’re not talking about who now), so interested people used the standard scheme. It's called the "umbrella brand". By registering the VEGA trademark (umbrella brand), using the products of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM, original equipment manufacturer) SETL, they received an SI type approval certificate for devices under their own brand. And protect copyright on your own TM much easier.
