The Comité International des Poids et Mesures,

considering

• the continual increase in demand for accurate and efficient measurement in science, technology and international trade;
• that the development of improved measurement standards and techniques frequently needs to be carried out weIl in advance of their application in science and industry;
• that these developments can only take place on the basis of a solid foundation of long-term metrological research closely linked to advances in science;

recommends that national laboratories

• continue to undertake long-term metrological research as weIl as to meet the more immediate needs of measurement services;
• keep the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures infonned as to the results of the work related to fundamental metrology.
