Abstract [eng] Reliable measurements are essential in today's world for a variety of reasons. Accurate and consistent measurements are crucial for decisions in a wide range of fields, including science, engineering, medicine, environmental protection, trade, and others. Without them, it would be impossible to make informed decisions or to develop effective products, structures, and processes. Modern measuring instruments can measure very precisely, technologies and methods are also very advanced, but the factor of human error or lack of competence can nullify all modern achievements. Adequate competence plays an important role in all metrology fields that ensures that measurements are accurate and reliable to protect consumers and businesses. Lack of metrological competency, or the ability to correctly and consistently measure physical quantities, can lead to a variety of risks. The demand for skilled metrology personnel is expected to grow in the coming years, as businesses increasingly rely on accurate and reliable measurements to ensure the quality of their products and services.
