Metrologists must have the technical competence required to do
their job. Their job is precisely defined. The person responsible for the
service ensures that the qualification and experience of the personnel
is maintained at an appropriate level through continuing education.
There are different ways to achieve this:
– the circulation of scientific and technical journals;
– information and training meetings;
– the participation in the work of vocational groups;
– training courses, etc.
The basic need for technical knowledge must not ignore certain
useful human qualities such as precision, which is not the least of
them.
