International Activities

In order for countries around the world to achieve internationally consistent measurement standards, mutual recognition of measurement standards and legal metrology is being promoted internationally based on the Meter Convention and the Legal Metrology Convention. NMIJ is working to realize, maintain and supply a universal measuring stick by promoting international mutual recognition of measurement standards and mutual recognition of type evaluations, and supporting international comparisons and peer reviews of measurement standards. In addition, we develop cutting-edge measurement technology and provide interna- tional technical support through collaboration and research cooperation with overseas metrology institutions, planning and support for technical training programs, and research and dissemination of information on inter- national trends.
