Metrology is the science of measurement and its
application
Metrology includes all theoretical and
practical aspects of measurement

The OIML develops model regulations, or written
standards called International Recommendations,
which provide an internationally agreed-upon basis for
the establishment of national legislation on various
categories of measuring instruments.

“…since there is an increasingly global aspect to many
measurements, a country’s Law on Metrology should
take this global aspect into account, as far as
possible.”

“These new areas are all characterized by the usual problems caused by inconsistent, fragmented and non-coherent legislation, with metrologically unrelated regulators, implementing bodies and user groups.

The cooperation between OIML, BIPM, ISO and ILAC along
with IEC and IAF has been in effect for some time
this cooperation must be improved and expanded
many other international organizations that are not directly
standards or metrology based must also be engaged at a
much more significant level.

combine the standards, regulations, metrology, accreditation,

form a consistent set of requirements that will begin to remove

A quality infrastructure must
combine the standards, regulations, metrology, accreditation,
certification, conformity assessment and other parts to form a
consistent set of requirements that will begin to remove the
fragmentation that now exists in metrology.

“It is dangerously easy to lag behind, to serve
yesterday's world instead of today's, neglecting to
prepare for tomorrow's. To be boxed in by the trivial
chores of every day and let the world change unnoticed,
like the driver who concentrates so hard on keeping his
car in the lane on the motorway that he does not [notice
the exit].”
