WELMEC celebrates ten years at its 16th Committee Meeting

摘要

The 16th WELMEC Committee meeting was held on 8-9 June 2000 in Moss near Oslo, Norway. In welcoming delegates to the meeting, the Chairman, Dr. Seton Bennett (NWML, UK) announced that this was the 10th anniversary of the signing of the WELMEC Memorandum of Understanding. Over the ten years WELMEC has produced 15 Guides, established EMeTAS, created a web site (www.welmec.org) and realized mutual cooperation through the WELMEC Type Approval Agreement. Committee Members were pleased to see the meeting attended by Bernard Athane (BIML) and Daniel Hanekuyk (CEC). A new feature of the Committee meetings was to include presentations from two countries on their legal metrology infrastructure: Knut Lindlov (Justervesenet, Norway) and Jean-Francois Magana (Sous-direction de la Metrologie, France) gave interesting and informative presentations. Dr. Bennett informed the Committee that Corinne Lagauterie (France) would represent WELMEC on the EA Working Group which is preparing a guidance document on the calibration of non-automatic weighing instruments.
