2025, A Historic Milestone

As we begin 2025, a year of great significance for the global metrology community, the Directors of the BIPM and the BIML have issued a joint statement to mark the 150th Anniversary of the Metre Convention. This foundational agreement established the BIPM and laid the groundwork for international collaboration in measurement science.

In their message, the Directors reflect on the transformative impact of metrology over the past 150 years and emphasize its vital role in addressing global challenges. The statement sets the tone for the celebrations leading up to World Metrology Day on May 20th, when the world will come together to honour this historic milestone.
