Information About

International Committee For Weights And Measures




A recent focus area of the CIPM has been the establishment of the CIPM ''Arrangement de reconnaissance mutuelle'' (Mutual Recognition Arrangement, MRA) which serves as the framework for the mutual acceptance of measurements performed in the Member States of the Metre Convention.

The CIPM meets annually at the International Bureau Of Weights And Measures (BIPM, Bureau international des poids et mesures), and discusses reports presented to it by its Consultative Committees. It issues an Annual Report on the administrative and financial position of the BIPM to the governments of the Member States of the Metre Convention.
