In the research, I considered the positioning of the test equipment qualification procedures in the legal framework for ensuring the uniformity of measurements of the Russian Federation.

The test equipment is widely used in assessing the conformity of facilities with the technical regulations, standards, terms of contracts and production control. Test equipment is one of the most important elements of metrological provision of facilities’ conformity assessment with technical regulations’ requirements, standards, terms of contracts, as well as production control. However, there is an ambiguity in the interpretation of some issues, in particular the need for certification of test equipment. In this article I made an attempt to systematize the legal and regulatory documents in relation to the procedure for certification of test equipment.
