Subject description

Prerequisits:

  • entry in the first year
  • basic knowledge on electrotehnics

Content (Syllabus outline):

  • Fundamental structure of European technical quality (safety, reliability, assessment, accreditation...)
  • 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, ...)
  • some important technical EU directives (Low Voltage, Electromagnetic, Medicine,...)
  • Consumer protection, general technical safety, industrial property and patentability

Objectives and competences:

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 electrotechnics.

Intended learning outcomes:

Knowledge and understanding: basic concept of technical infrastructure, standardisation, accreditation, European national legislation, standard development, knowledge on fields of standards, quality assurance, knowing of assessor's and certification organisation work, importance of directives, knowledge on total quality management, certification systems, use of tools for quality assessment QFD and FMEA, relation of quality and law, safety and environment, concrete technical knowledge on testing, laboratory work on quality assurance and product safety, preparation of optimal experiment, knowledge on different standards, implementation of quality system, preparation of quality manual according to different standards

Learning and teaching methods:

  • Lectures,
  • auditory exercises,
  • laboratory exercises,
  • seminar works.
