The 35th SMIIC MC Training within the SMIIC MC Work Plan 2024 – 2026 V3 was the The Training in Calibration and Uncertainty Evaluation for Thermometers  on the 09 June 2026 virtually, technically hosted by SMIIC General Secretariat. 22 experts participated in the training.

The training was hosted by NMI:  Emirates Metrology Institue (EMI) 

General Description: This training program is a practical and interactive course focused on the calibration of Resistance Thermometers (RTDs) in accordance with the DKD-R 5-1 guideline. It combines theoretical foundations of thermometry with hands-on calibration procedures and uncertainty evaluation. The course emphasizes real laboratory practices, traceability concepts, and decision-making based on calibration results, using engaging activities, quizzes, and real measurement scenarios.

Objective, expected outcome: By the end of the training, participants will be equipped with the knowledge to perform RTD calibration in accordance with DKD-R 5-1, identify key sources of measurement uncertainty, and compute both combined and expanded uncertainty.

Who should attend: This course is designed for. Metrology professionals working in temperature and humidity fields
