INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPATION

Since 1994, Singapore has been a member of the Metre Convention, an international diplomatic treaty on world metrology. NMC establishes primary measurement standards as defined by the SI under the Metre Convention, to ensure compatibility of these measurements standards with the international system.

As part of the international metrology community, NMC actively promotes and collaborates with national metrology institutes in the region through the Asia Pacific Metrology Programme (APMP), and other institutes worldwide through the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) and the Consultative Committees of CIPM.
