OIML/UNIDO Seminar on D 1 (Elements for a Law on Metrology):

Why and how to legislate on metrology?

  Agenda (uploaded 2007.10.15)

On Tuesday 23 October 2007 (afternoon) a Seminar Why and how to legislate on metrology? will be held at the Okura Garden Hotel in conjunction with the 42nd CIML Meeting.

The OIML is organizing this event in conjunction with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) as partner organizations of the Joint Committee on Coordination of Technical Assistance to Developing Countries in Metrology, Accreditation and Standardization (JCDCMAS).

Aimed at a wide audience of Legal Metrology professionals, this Seminar will address a number of strategic issues such as:

  • how to maximize the benefits from the work of International Organizations such as the OIML, UNIDO and those they work closely with,
  • fields of metrology most commonly addressed in national legislation,
  • centralized or decentralized policies,
  • privatized versus state-run metrology activities, and
  • sharing resources with neighboring countries.

Presentations will be given by the BIML, UNIDO and by representatives of a number of OIML Member States on the development of OIML D 1 Elements for a Law on Metrology and how this fundamental Document may be used by countries wishing to compile their own specific Legal Metrology legislation.

Examples will be given on how new laws on metrology have been developed in various countries. What were the outcomes, what difficulties or challenges were encountered and very importantly how were these overcome, and where was assistance and professional advice available from.

This Seminar is open to delegates from all OIML Member States and Corresponding Members - please register here.
