The digitalization of the quality infrastructure (QI) in 2027 goes far beyond converting analog certificates into digital formats. A future-proof digital QI relies on standardized templates, consistent and scalable application, and internationally aligned norms to ensure that data is machine-readable, interoperable, and reliably interpreted across systems, domains, and borders.

Moving from good practice to fully established standards requires coordinated efforts: stakeholders must converge on shared data structures, common semantics, and harmonized implementation approaches. Only through this alignment can Digital Calibration Certificates (DCC) and related digital artifacts achieve broad acceptance and deliver seamless integration across the entire measurement and calibration chain.

For this purpose, the conference invites contributions that advance one or more of the following core dimensions:

• Template development
  Innovations in template design, data modeling, and machine-actionable structures that support standardized information exchange within the quality infrastructure.

• Application in practice
  Practical implementations, pilot projects, and real-world use cases demonstrating how digital certificates, reports, and DCC-based workflows create value in diverse operational settings.
