The first main deliverable and result of the project is the requirement profile for the measurement of the reeds. Up to the project the reed manufacturers were in no condition to make an objective, 100% control of their reeds. The measurements have done by subjective spot checks using insufficient methods. The requirement profile, elaborated in the project, contains 24 features and describes for the first time which feature is important for a good reed quality and how could these features be measured. For the measurement of the different features a test bench has built up. The test bench contains lasertriangulation sensors and a camera system. Measured features are faults as variation of dimension, as variation of form and faults caused by faulty operation. The requirement profile and the test bench enables now the reed manufacturers to measure their reeds in an enfolding and in an objective way. Therefore the reed manufacturers can implement a new standard of reeds and in the future new European policies for reeds.
