Normative legal acts of Ukraine have changed in the field of defense the need to use the term “metrological support” to “support of the uniformity of measurements”. However, a number of normative documents envisage the metrological support of armament and military equipment. The comparative analysis of set of measures which are stipulated by metrological support and support of the uniformity of measurements is carried out and their identity in essence is shown. The support of the uniformity of measurements requires checking the uniformity of measurements and the reliability of control. The substantiation and clarity of the definitions of the terms “uniformity of measurements” and “reliability of control” taking into account international and national metrological documents and practice are considered. The substantiation of the term definition "uniformity of measurement", according to the authors, is questionable. The international system of SI units is now officially approved as the basic or the only system of units in all but three countries, and when using national units, they must have unambiguous connection with the system of SI units; not all indicators of accuracy are specified, in particular, correctness and precision according to DSTU GOST ISO 5725. The term "reliability" and its derivates are considered. The term "reliability of control" and methods of determining its indicators are regulated only in the document Mi 1317. At the same time, these methods are time- consuming and difficult to understand and use. It is noted that most countries and international organizations have changed the concept of uniformity of measurement to the concept of traceability, and the terms "uniformity of measurement" and "reliability of control" are absent in the standards of advanced countries and in international dictionaries of metrology. Measures are proposed at the legislative level and at the level of development of normative documentation to improve the uniformity of measurements.
The intensive implementation of NATO standards is due to Ukraine’s course towards full membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Some results of the implementation of NATO standards are given. The results of organizational and regulatory measures carried out to ensure unity of measurements carried out at the present time, as well as a change in the regulatory and methodological foundations of the creation and functioning of the state system of quality assurance are shown. The purpose of the work is to analyze regulatory acts on the implementation and application of NATO standards at the present stage in the field of ensuring unity of measurement in testing and identifying the features and complexities of these processes. Based on the results of the analysis of regulatory documents, conclusions were drawn regarding the change in the status of NATO standards in Ukraine from national to military and the mandatory application of military standards to enterprises, institutions and organizations of all forms of ownership that perform work and provide services for defense needs. Three groups of military standards have been singled out, which directly or indirectly regulate the requirements for ensuring the unity of measurements during testing of armament and military equipment, as well as specific requirements for them for each group. These groups of standards were developed on the basis of the NATO standardization agreements STANAG 4107, STANAG 4370 and STANAG 4704. The regulatory and legal principles and methodological foundations of the creation and operation of the state system of quality assurance according to STANAG 4107, the features of tests according to STANAG 4370, and issues related to the implementation of STANAG 4704 in in full in Ukraine. Certain difficulties in the implementation of NATO standards in Ukraine are noted and some ways to solve them are given.
