World Metrology Day 2019!

​World Metrology Day 2019! Metrology, the science of Measurement, plays a central role in scientific discovery & innovation. This impacts industrial manufacturing and international trade. Its' impact improves the quality of life and protecting the global environment.
The 2019 theme for World Metrology day is The International System of Units - Fundamentally better. This theme was chosen because on 16 November 2018, the General Conference on Weights and Measures agreed perhaps one of the most significant revisions to the International System of Units (the SI) since its inception. Research into new measurement methods, including those using quantum phenomena, underpin the change, which comes into force on 20 May 2019. The SI is now based on a set of definitions each linked to the laws of physics and have the advantage of being able to embrace further improvements in measurement science and technology to meet the needs of future users for many years to come.
