The BIPM/OIML jointly published a Brochure and six accompanying inserts on different aspects of the National Metrology Systems. The contents draw from the BIPM and OIML joint publication “National metrology systems - Developing the institutional and legislative framework” (OIML D 1:2020).
Written in an accessible way, the brochures are aimed at
- supporting countries and economies with emerging metrology systems in the implementation of this International Document,
- underpinning the 27th CGPM’s Resolution 6 “On universal adherence to the Metre Convention”,
- underpinning Objective 5 of OIML B 15:2011 OIML Strategy on raising awareness of the contribution that a sound legal metrology infrastructure can make to a modern economy.
The suite of brochures summarizes key elements that should be considered when producing policies aimed at developing national metrology systems, setting up institutions dealing with metrology, and drawing up national laws related to metrology.
