International Activities

In order to ensure internationally consistent measurement standards among countries, international mutual recognition of measurement standards and legal metrology is promoted under the Metre Convention and the Legal Metrology Convention. NMIJ works to establish, maintain and disseminate globally unified measurement standards by promoting the international mutual recognition of measurement standards and type evaluations, and by supporting international comparisons and peer reviews of measurement standards. In addition, we develop cutting-edge measurement technologies and provide international technical support through collaboration and research cooperation with overseas metrology institutions, planning and supporting technical training programs, and researching and sharing information on global trends.
