The European partnership on metrology: Council adopts decision

F.P. Report

BRUSSELS: The Council adopted a decision on Thursday on the involvement of the European Union in the European Partnership on metrology. The partnership is one of the priority areas in the package of proposals for institutionalised European partnerships under Horizon Europe.

“Metrology impacts us, every day and everywhere. Without metrology, we cannot imagine contemporary world trade, safe and reliable consumer products or modern industry. The adoption of the European Partnership on metrology enables us to align measurement standards across member states, and enables achieving our goals for the digital transformation and green transition.”

Metrology is the scientific study of measurement and a key enabler of economic and social activity. It ensures that when measurements are taken, they are traceable to internationally agreed definitions and standards. Metrology ensures compliance with European financial regulations as it means each financial transaction can be accurately timestamped, which provides traceable evidence. It is also of key importance with regard to the safety of consumer products.
