Objectives

To develop optimal and effective traceable measurement standards for magnetic fields in the ranges between 10 µT and 10 mT, where uncertainty (at k = 2) ranges between 2 mT/T and 0.2 mT/T respectively.

To develop a robust and feasible transfer standard and a cross-calibration method to provide traceability to the metrological laboratories with an expected accuracy of 1e-4. This transfer standard will be used in an interlaboratory comparison in this project and to validate the CMCs.

To develop new methods for magnetic field cancellation in the presence of local gradient fields, compensating for DC power noise and other sources of noise due to urban development, that hinder the calibration of new, low magnetic field systems.

To develop a metrological infrastructure for low-intensity magnetic fields to address the main needs of the stakeholders, including via a smart specialisation approach where different routes for traceability will be followed.

To facilitate the uptake and long-term operation of capabilities, technology and measurement infrastructure developed in the project by the measurement supply chain (NMIs/DIs, calibration and testing laboratories), standards developing organisations and technical committees, and end users (e.g. industry, regulators, manufacturers).
