    While *focusing on how to quickly and effectively recover from the impact of the epidemic, World Metrology Day 2021 is coming soon.

     

    At the beginning of 2020, the speed and intensity of the impact of the new crown virus on people all over the world has forced governments of all countries to respond quickly.
    As the epidemic has just spread, new measurement needs have emerged in large numbers.
    The first is large-scale virus detection, personal protective equipment performance testing, and subsequent vaccine development also rely on the accurate identification and measurement of complex proteins and RNA molecules.

     

    The scale of these needs has changed the priorities of many countries.
    In order to respond to the challenge of the virus and protect the health of the people, the government refocused on existing scientific capabilities, and the metrology community has also joined the efforts to deal with these new countries and challenges, using its existing measurement science experience to solve national needs such as the following :
     

    ·Establishment of a detection system for personal protective masks;
     

    ·Design and testing of new ventilator systems required by hospitals;
     

    ·Recognition and counting of virus molecules in test samples;
     

    · Measurement of vaccine immunity.

     

    The metrology community has established technical capabilities to support the various measurements needed to protect and promote health, making the above-mentioned work possible.
    These capabilities include:
     

      · Develop standards for all types of medical equipment with measurement functions, including automatic blood pressure monitors, ophthalmic instruments, and medical syringes;
     

      ·Support clinical laboratory testing to ensure that the measurement of the medical thermometer is consistent with the approved temperature scale;

      ·Ensure that the patient receives the correct radiation dose during the X-ray examination;
     

      · Provide a basis for ensuring accurate radiation dose in cancer treatment.

     

      It is reported that the choice of "Measurement to protect health" as the theme of this year's World Metrology Day is to draw people’s attention to the important role of measurement in protecting people’s health, especially as metrology institutions around the world quickly turn their experience and capabilities into response.
    The new national health challenge comes at the right time.
