EUROMET
is a cooperative voluntary
organisation between national metrology institutes (NMIs) in
the EU and EFTA, including the European Commission. Established NMIs
from other European states can also be members subject to the agreement
of existing members. Currently, EUROMET has 34 members,
with nearly every European state represented. The objective
of EUROMET
is to promote the coordination of metrological activities and services
with the purpose of achieving higher efficiency. EUROMET
was formally established by the
signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) by participating States
in Madrid, Spain on 23 September 1987 to become operative from 1
January 1988. Since then, the MOU was amended in 1995 and 1998.
Metrology, which is the science of
measurement, plays a key role in industry, international trade and in
everyday life. Accurate and reliable measurements are critical in
assuring product quality, and in supporting environmental, health and
safety issues. An accurate system of weights and measures is an
essential pre-requisite for global and national economic activity,
fair-trading, quality control and serves to protect the customer.
