Abstract

The use of virtual experiments (VEs) and digital twins (DTs) in metrological applications requires uncertainty evaluation methods as well as reliable validation procedures to make them fit, e.g., as substitutes or extensions to certified measurement devices. The project develops such methods and procedures, which enable ensuring the reliability and trustworthiness of VEs and DTs in metrology. To facilitate the uptake of the developed methods by NMIs/DIs and industrial stakeholders, good practice guides (GPGs) are provided, and their applicability is demonstrated in twelve case studies covering a variety of different industrial metrological applications.
