Metrology, as defined by the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) [1] in its 2000 publication International Vocabulary of Terms in Legal Metrology [2], is the “Science of Measurement." Legal metrology is further defined in this same international standard as: "part of metrology relating to activities which result from statutory requirements and concern measurement, units of measurement, measuring instruments and methods of measurement and which are performed by competent bodies." [ibid] The International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) [3] further defines metrology as "...the science of measurement, embracing both experimental and theoretical determinations at any level of uncertainty in any field of science and technology."
