Abstract

In France, biopathology laboratories should be accreditated according to ISO 15189. The metrology as a controlling of measurement process may confuse biologist or pathologist. Quality control is one aspect of the metrology process and rule the conformity of an analysis. This article focuses on ‘preventive metrology’ which provide confidence on what could be called the ‘operational metrology’. Temperature is chosen as an example. The need of the fonctionnal process, defined before the analysis, is correlated to capability and uncertainty of the measurement instrument. The conformity of a measurement is also discussed towards to the reality of environnemental condition control.
