20 May 2020

Esteemed colleagues, dear friends,
We heartily congratulate you on the holiday - World Metrology Day!

The chosen date is of symbolic importance and coincides with the Metre Convention signing. More than 100 countries celebrate this holiday, which is a clear demonstration of the significance of accurate measurements for economic and social development both of the country and of each of us.

The theme of the World Metrology Day 2020 is "Measurements for global trade".

This poses new demanding tasks for metrology in this field, since these are high accuracy measurements and tests that enhance security and provide confidence, that goods and services, which billions of people use every day, meet quality and safety requirements.

On this festive day we wish you, dear colleagues, sustainability, further creative and scientific achievements for the benefit of metrology!

Good health, much happiness and faith in yourself!

COOMET President
Valery Hurevich

May 20, 2019 - World Metrology Day!

On 20 May metrologists of all countries celebrate the World Metrology Day. Theme of World Metrology Day 2019" "The International System of Units - Fundamentally better"

The quest for improving accuracy of measurements has resulted in one of the greatest scientific events of the past year – redefinition of the International System of Units (SI). At the General Conference on Weights and Measures in November 2018 a historic vote took place, during which the SI units (metre, second, mole, ampere, kelvin, candela and kilogram) began to be defined by fundamental physical constants.

The SI is now based on a set of definitions each linked to the laws of physics and have the advantage of being able to embrace further improvements in measurement science and technology to meet the needs of future users for many years to come.

Resolutions adopted by CGPM shall enter into force on 20 May 2019.

Across the world, national metrology institutes continually advance measurement science by developing and alidating new measurement techniques at whatever level of sophistication is needed. The national metrology institutes participate in comparisons coordinated by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) to ensure the reliability of measurement results worldwide.

World Metrology Day recognizes and celebrates the contribution of all the people that work in intergovernmental and national organizations throughout the year on behalf of all.

You can learn about event dedicated to the World Metrology Day, held in different countries, on the official website of the World Metrology Day: http://www.worldmetrologyday.org/events.html.
