Abstract :
This paper examines the study, the implementation and the preliminary tests of a transportable reference standard for inter-laboratory comparisons, called TFTS, to be used for comparisons in the field of frequency and time interval measurements. This device will allow the reference laboratory to assess the testing capabilities of the metrological Centres recognized by SIT.
