The European Metrology Network MATHMET is a network in which a large number of European national metrology institutes combine their forces in the area of mathematics and statistics applied to metrological problems. One underlying principle of such a cooperation is to have a common understanding of the ‘quality’ of software, data and guidelines. To this purpose a flexible, lightweight Quality Management System (QMS), also referred to as Quality Assessment Tools (QAT), is under development by the EMN. In this contribution the application of the QMS to several use cases of different nature by VSL is presented. The benefits and usefulness of the current version of the QMS are discussed from the particular viewpoint of a particular employee of VSL, and an outlook for possible future extensions and usage of the QMS is given.
