EUROMET
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.
