Certification

Actions

• Notes
  Mr BIRKELAND introduced this item by stressing the importance for OIML of the question of mutual recognition of metrological controls and, more generally, of what was meant by international certification. The internationalization of the exchange of merchandise, goods and services had increased significantly in all fields, including that of metrology. At the same time, national metrological services had often seen their resources diminishing or stagnating at their present level, or at any rate not increasing as rapidly as the volume of work. A way of resolving some of the problems encountered at local level lay, no doubt, in the solution of the problems of international certification, thanks to better rationalization of activity.
