Problems of the measurement management systems evaluation for business entities on voluntary basis

Questions concerning evaluation and confirmation of measurement capabilities for business entities on a voluntary basis are considered. Existing problems in executing this kind of activity by enterprises, which are regulated by the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine (metrological centers) as well as other enterprises and organizations are analyzed. Causes of impossibility to issue certificates on compliance of the measurement management systems with requirements of DSTU ISO 10012 [1] as a result of providing the above-mentioned operations are determined. The ways of solving the determined questions for metrological centers are proposed.


Introduction
According to Part 4 of the Article 7 on Law of Ukraine «On metrology and metrological activity»

Main Body
Problems, which can negatively influence on state measurements unity assurance, arise in the process of measurement capabilities evaluation.
Let us define a major of them. Such organizations provide seminars on the topic, that only by fulfilling the requirements of these bodies for voluntary conformity assessment it is possible to confirm laboratory competence.
By analyzing the mentioned seminars materials, their nonconformity to the effective Laws on metrology was found; this confirms incompetence of such bodies for voluntary conformity assessment in metrological activity issues and other issues, in which they offer certain services including training.
Secondly [5] , central bodies of the executive power take illegal actions to authorize providing measurements including the legal metrology sector. This is especially provided in the healthcare sector, where quali ty management system implementation is con-  This system is imperfect and burdensome for metrological centers. In particular:

MEASUREMENTS INFRASTRUCTURE
-system is intended for separation of laboratories on particular groups and categories, that is not provided by any document, this is inappropriate, as DSTU ISO 10012 [1] concerns all laboratories; -system is intended for monitoring laboratories, which received certificates for compliance of the measurement management systems capabilities, that is not provided by any document and metrological centers are not authorized to conduct any supervisory (control) functions; -system is intended for creation of coordination board, which will be overloaded by unnecessary work and metrological centers will be burdened with additional bureaucratic elements concerning creation and financing the functioning of this board; -system is burdened with additional bureaucratic elements concerning obtaining the status of system member by metrological centers; -particular requirements to the laboratory are regulated by the system, that is illegal; -system provides for development of the set of documents specifying particular requirements and procedures, that is inappropriate. A single document regulating requirements to the laboratories is DSTU ISO 10012 [1] .
The main thing is that System is intended for issuing certificates for compliance of the measurement management subdivisions capabilities with DSTU ISO 10012 [1] .
DSTU ISO 10012 [1] is identical translation of the relevant international standard. It is developed without considering requirements of the Law.
Moreover, DSTU 10012 [1] contains particular requirements, which are not implemented on the Ukrainian enterprises and their implementation requires a long period.
Let us consider some of them.
Thus, it is almost impossible to fulfill the following requirements of DSTU 10012 [1] .  The following requirements of DSTU ISO 10012 [1] are not fulfilled.

Conclusions
Currently, DSTU 10012 [1] is not considered as a Implementation of DSTU ISO 10012 [1] requirements is possible only for laboratories operating out of the legal metrology sector. Though, DSTU ISO 10012 [1] requirements implementation activities are almost not provided by the enterprises.
Taking into account the above stated, issuing the conformity with DSTU ISO 10012 [1] certificates is impossible, when full conformity is absent. Moreover, revision of the DSTU ISO 10012 [1] requirements for their combination with requirements of the Law will be appropriate for reissue with conformity criteria MOD.
