The monitoring of different variables that allows good performance of aship involves assessing equipment in order to assure data taking with greater precision and accuracy; thisis where metrology takes place as a science for studying inherent problems to measurement data collection,focusing on equipment calibration. The grade of uncertainty produced by data taking procedures of eachequipment on board of ship depend on techniques and results control specifications, which are knownas Methods Confirmation. The metrology laboratory at COTECMAR applied this method to guaranteequality by estimating validity and reliability of the obtained results through different measuringequipment related to ship construction and repairing.
