  In the context of increasing complexity and diversity of measuring equipment, technical documentation (TD) becomes the basis for educational and methodological support of its operation. These circumstances require the developers of TD to constantly search for ways to improve the quality of its educational functionality. A promising approach to improving the quality of TD and enhancing its educational functionality is to develop it in the format of interactive electronic technical manuals. In the article, the features and principles of engineering of interactive electronic technical manuals in the format of an electronic educational and methodological complex (information and educational system) and their integration into a digital educational environment of continuous increase in the competence of specialists in the field of ensuring the uniformity of measurements are considered.

  Authors: K.D. Skobelev, MIREA — Russian Technological University, Research Institute Environmental Industrial Policy Center
  The article considers mechanisms of improving the activities of testing laboratories based on the design of adaptive control systems. The author develops an original organizational and information model combining the hierarchical structure of documentation support, process algorithms for functioning, and functional relationships between participants in metrological procedures. A unified information environment developed guarantees a high metrological traceability and transparency of processes, including the accreditation and inspection procedures. The practical significance of the results obtained, is demonstrated, in particular, for the oil refining sector, is the possibility of minimizing the risks of nonconforming products and optimizing the resource provision of testing laboratories and centers.

  A true leader is someone who deeply understands the specifics of their company’s operations, its technological processes, and their quantitative and qualitative indicators, and uses this understanding to create truly effective and efficient management of information flows. The development of internal audit procedures in the quality management system focuses on ensuring the accuracy and objectivity of information, involving employees, and creating a system of motivation, which are all aspects that can be applied to improve feedback procedures. In the article, we have revealed approaches to the selection of specific research objects when providing feedback from senior management to employees, and gives options for targeted research in the management systems of organizations providing services in the field of ensuring the uniformity of measurements.

  The most common activity of organizations accredited in the field of ensuring the uniformity of measurements is the verification of measuring instruments. This is a set of operations performed in order to confirm that measuring instruments meet metrological requirements. Calibration of measuring instruments is a methodologically similar operation to verification, which is a set of operations performed in order to determine the actual values of the metrological characteristics of measuring instruments. In the article, we have conducted a comparative analysis of accreditation criteria requirements for verification and GOST ISO/IEC 17025–2019 for calibration. Converging requirements and specific features of each operation were identified. The feasibility of developing a documented procedure for a quality management system for an accredited organization in the field of ensuring the uniformity of measurements, integrating verification and calibration operations, was determined.

  Risk Assessment when Calibrating Limited Batches of Measuring Instruments

  Authors: S.B. Danilevich, Novosibirsk Branch of Academy for Standardization, Metrology and Certification (Training) (ASMS), Dr. (Tech.), Senior Researcher, ser-danilevich@yandex.ru

  Calibration of measuring instruments (MI) can be considered as a multi-parameter measurement control. The calibration methods and the reference standards used must ensure sufficiently low risks of making erroneous decisions. These risks depend on a number of factors, primarily on the number of MI parameters controlled during calibration and the error of the reference standards used during calibration. In the article, the dependence of the risks of making erroneous decisions when verifying a batch of measuring instruments of the accuracy of standards is considered. The expediency of using upper confidence limits of risks as criteria is substantiated. It is proposed to evaluate these risk boundaries using the Monte Carlo simulation method and use these boundaries when determining the accuracy requirements of standards.

  Gas Chromatographic Determination of Butyl Acrylate and Butyl Methacrylate in Model Media

  Authors: T.M. Jumagaziyeva, Aktobe Branch of RSE «Kazakhstan Institute of Standardization and Metrology», t.dzhumagaziyeva@ ksm.kz 

  V.G. Lysenko, Research Center for Applied Metrology — Rostest, ValeriyGL@rostest.ru
  The purpose of the study is to provide testing laboratories of the member countries of the Customs Union with a procedure for measuring butyl acrylate and butyl methacrylate in model media using the gas chromatographic method. The objective of the study is to develop a methodology for the preparation of certified mixtures of butyl acrylate and butyl methacrylate in order to establish the values of the metrological characteristics of the measurement procedure. The developed methodology includes the selection of measuring instruments, uncertainty calculation, preparation of calibration solutions and accuracy assessment. The possibility of using the developed mixtures for calibration, validation of measurement procedure and ensuring the traceability of analytical measurements in the field of chemical analysis is substantiated.

  Metrological Examination of Measuring Instruments as a New Direction of Activity

  Authors: K.A. Pavlov, Muratshin State Regional Center for Standardization, Metrology and Testing in Republic of Bashkortostan, P_Konstantin_A@mail.ru
  In regulatory documents, the concept of metrological examination is most often linked to documentation, for example, RIS 29–2013 and GOST R 8.1024–2023. In both cases, the object of the examination is documentation. And in the scientific literature, for a long time, metrological examination was actually reduced to the examination of documents. However, with the advent of new tasks, the attention of metrologists is gradually spreading to other objects of metrological examination. The article explores the legal possibility of applying the concept of metrological examination, used mainly in relation to various kinds of documentation, to studies of measuring instruments, including for judicial purposes. Specific proposals are put forward to formalize the concept for specified purposes.

  The digital transformation of production assets is opening a new era in the management of maintenance and repair at aluminum plants. This article explores the application of a system engineering approach to organizing maintenance and repair at aluminum industry facilities. Key principles of system engineering in the development of maintenance and repair tools are highlighted. The transformation of empirical CMMS data on the operation of slurry pumps in the gas cleaning section of an aluminum smelter into a substantiated solution for equipment standardization is demonstrated. Progressive, specific solutions for analyzing and planning maintenance and repair throughout the aluminum production life cycle are structured in an era of transition from corrective maintenance to predictive models.

  From Competence to Human Capital Valuе in Metrology

  Authors: N.R. Verbitskaya, Mendeleev All-Russian Institute for Metrology, n.r.verbitskaya@vniim.ru
  This study identifies a significant gap between the normative requirements of ISO/ IEC 17025 and ISO 9001 standards for personnel competence management and their actual implementation in metrological organizations in the Russian Federation. Analysis of data from 47 HR specialists across 59 organizations reveals that the correlation between awareness of standard requirements and functional effectiveness of competence management is r = 0.079, indicating a disconnect between formal compliance and practical results. The paper proposes a model for economic valuation of human capital (HC Value Model), based on four weighted indicators: retention, competency, productivity, and engagement. The model integrates metrics from ISO 30414:2025 (69 indicators across 11 dimensions) and is embedded in the PDCA management cycle. Recommendations are addressed to leaders and HR specialists of metrological organizations seeking to transform personnel management from a compliance function into a strategic driver of quality economics.
