<strong>METROLOGY</strong><br />

OIML<br />

The International Organisation of Legal Metrology, OIML, is an<br />

intergovernmental treaty organisation established in 1955 on the<br />

basis of a convention, which was modified in 1968. The purpose of<br />

OIML is to promote the global harmonisation of legal metrology<br />

procedures. In 2008 OIML had 59 member countries and 57<br />

corresponding member countries that joined the OIML as observers.<br />

The OIML has since its establishment developed a worldwide<br />

technical structure that provides its members with metrological<br />

guidelines for the elaboration of national and regional requirements<br />

concerning the manufacture and use of measuring instruments for<br />

legal metrology applications. The OIML issues international<br />

recommendations that provide members with an internationally<br />

agreed basis for the establishment of national legislation on various<br />

categories of measuring instruments.<br />
