CMCs Country NMI/DI No. CMCs entries RI(I) RI(II) RI(III) Total Approval Current status Australia ANSTO II: 2005 ARPANSA I: 2006, III: 2006 China NIM I: 2006, II: 2005, III: 2006 Chinese Taipei INER I: 2006, II: 2005, III: 2006 Japan NMIJ I: 2011, II: 2005, III: 2011 Korea KRISS I: 2011, II: 2005, III: 2011 Malaysia MNA I: 2008 Evidence update, removal(i: 2) Intra-RMO review (2014) New entries(i: 9) Intra-RMO review (2014) New entries(ii: 7, III: 2) Intra-RMO review (2014) Total No. CMCs entries 810 CMCs review in 2015 Inter-RMO : 5 (AFRIMETS: 1, COOMET: 1, EURAMET: 2, SIM: 1) Intra-RMO : 3 (KRISS, ARPANSA, NMIJ) 10

11 V. Findings On CIPM MRA CMCs : we need to make CMCs from radioactivity section compact more Comparison reports : Needs harmonization in describing the methods and results of the comparison Simple standard report form (or, template) may be convenient and efficient Bilateral comparison using commercial calibration is admitted among TC members as promising 11

12 V. Findings On Focus Areas APANSA, ANSTO, NMIJ, NIM, KRISS express interest in supporting focus area of Medical Devices (A delegate said the focus area Medical Diagnostics Equipment has been changed to Medical Devices ). INER (DI from Chinese Taipei) and NMIJ (radioactivity section) express interest in supporting the Focus Area Food Safety. All are wondering about what to do and how to support the focus areas in TC level. 12

13 VI. Next Chair Election Dr. Jinjie Wu from NIM was nominated solely by a proposer from INER and a seconder from NMIJ, both of whom are full member of APMP. Dr. Jinjie Wu was elected as a next TCRI Chair unanimously. We 13
