Abstract
A report is given of the sixth meeting of the Consultative Committee on Amount of Substance (CCQM). The CCQM has been active since 1993. It is the committee, established by the Comite International des Poids et Mesures, which is responsible for issues regarding metrology in chemistry. It has four established working groups in the fields of organic analysis, inorganic analysis, gas analysis and electrochemical analysis. A further twoad hoc working groups in the fields of surface analysis and metrology in biotechnology were established during the meeting. The working groups are involved in the identification, development and execution of a series of key comparisons, which will establish the technical basis for the mutual recognition of measurement capabilities among the National Measurement Institutes. 17 key comparisons are currently planned for the period 1999–2002, with 29 other international comparisons planned for the same period.
