OIML = ORGANISATION INTERNATIONALE DE MÉTROLOGIE LÉGALE
Die OIML ist eine weltumspannende Organisation, welche sich als Hauptziel die Harmonisierung der nationalen Regelungen und Standards im Bereich der Messwesen gesetzt hat.
Die OIML veröffentlich hauptsächlich Publikationen aus zwei Fachbereichen:
- Internationale Empfehlungen (sog. OIML R) zu Regulierungen von Messinstrumenten bezüglich deren Charakeristik und zu Methoden und Ausrüstungsgegenständen um diese zu überprüfen.
- Internationale Dokumente (OIML D) zur Information und Unterstützung des allgemeinen Messwesens
OIML Empfehlungen und Dokumente werden in technischen Ausschüssen und Unterausschüssen entwickelt. Diese setzten sich aus Vertretern der Mitgliedstaaten an. Ausgewählte internationale und nationale Institutionen werden sind in beratender Funktion tätig.
The International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) is a worldwide, intergovernmental organization whose primary aim is to harmonize the regulations and metrological controls applied by the national metrological services, or related organizations, of its Member States. The two main categories of OIML publications are:
- International Recommendations (OIML R), which are model regulations that establish the metrological characteristics required of certain measuring instruments and which specify methods and equipment for checking their conformity; the OIML Member States shall implement these Recommendations to the greatest possible extent;
- international Documents (OIML D), which are informative in nature and intended to improve the work of the metrology services.
OIML Draft Recommendations and Documents are developed by technical committees or subcommittees which are formed by Member States. Certain international and regional institutions also participate on a consultation basis. Cooperative agreements are established between OIML and certain institutions, such as ISO and IEC, with the objective of avoiding contradictory requirements; consequently, manufacturers and users of measuring instruments, test laboratories, etc. may apply simultaneously OIML publications and those of other institutions. International Recommendations and International Documents are published in French (F) and English (E) and are subject to periodic Revision. [1]
