Recommendation K Metrological Assurance of Conformity Assessment and Testing

Metrology ensures the uniformity of measurements and their metrological traceability to the International System of Units (SI). It allows manufacturers to produce products more accurately, more quickly and to a higher standard. It is the key cornerstone to international standardization and the quality infrastructure in general, which contributes to the facilitation of trade. This recommendation and its guidelines establish the basis of metrological assurance of conformity assessment and testing and its optimum use in international exchanges. It further provides guidance for economies that have not yet implemented a robust national metrology system.
