LEGAL METROLOGY

摘要

Plans for the upcoming meeting of the Legal Metrology Committee at the 2006 NCLSI Workshop and Symposium in Nashville are complete. Three papers on Legal Metrology will be presented during a session on Wednesday on the overall make-up and value of the Weights and Measures Programs of the NATTA signatories. Weights and Measures and the part it plays in the economies of the signatories is grossly under-appreciated. This paper session and the discussion time during the Legal Metrology Committee meeting will hopefully be useful in making the general metrology community more aware of the value of the legal aspects of metrology. Scheduled to present: Carol Hockert (United States), and Rene Magnon (Canada). The committee meeting was scheduled for Wednesday evening, August 9, after the presentations are made so that the presenters can participate without severely affecting their travel schedules.
