Technical Quality

Fundamental structure of European technical quality (safety, reliability, assessment, accreditation…); Measurememnts and Metrology systems, standardization, conformity assessment, certification…); Accreditation, certification systems of products and services; Quality systems in different fields; Methods for technical quality assurance in different fields (industry, services, health, Etc.); Some important technical EU directives (Low Voltage, Electromagnetic, Medicine, etc.); Consumer protection, general technical safety, industrial property and patentability; Measurements in medical applications and quality engineering; Measurements in industrial applications and sustainability testing; Robotics and measurements for sustainable business operations; Energy efficiency measurements of buildings and products; Environmental measurements – observation of the state of the environment; Electromobility and quality engineering; Measurements for green transition, energy efficiency, environmental sustainability, climate change mitigation.

Aim of the course is to get acquainted with concrete knowledge on technical quality of production systems, services, trade, research, health and environment care, etc. in scope of technical infrastructure as required by European union rules. Scope of technical quality deals with measurements, testing, accreditation, standardisation, conformity assessment, proficiency testing, CE marking and consumer protection. In the EU technical directives presents basics for implementation of technical infrastructures for each field and supported by technical standards, which is basis for functioning of common European market.

Their implementation requires concrete engineering knowledge, specially connected to the field of electrical engineering.

Understanding the connection between quality engineering and the field of medical technology. Knowledge of sustainability testing in industrial applications. The applicability of robotic applications in quality and environmental sustainability. Knowledge of methods of measuring the energy efficiency of products and buildings. Understanding the measurement of environmental parameters and methods of measuring the state of the environment. Knowledge of the importance of testing new technologies and standardization in the case of electromobility. 

Introduction of terms and concepts of green transition, energy efficiency, environmental sustainability. 

Lectures, auditory exercises, laboratory exercises, seminar works, invited lectures, excursion.
