| Legal Metrology encompasses all legislative, administrative, and technical procedures which work to ensure measurement quality and credibility. Legal Metrology focuses on the need for confidence and equity in measurements which directly concern the public, especially those measurements relating to efficiency in commerce, public health and safety, and environmental monitoring. With regard to measuring instruments, legal metrology specifies performance requirements, verification procedures, means for ensuring traceability to legally-defined measurement units, and guidelines for use. |
