May 20 is celebrated as Metrology Day, worldwide, commemorating the anniversary of the signing of the Metre Convention in 1875, an international treaty that was signed in Paris that established the basis for international agreement on units of measurement.
The World Metrology Day project is an idea jointly by the BIPM and the OIML.
Metrology can be defined as the science of measurement and its application.
The theme for World Metrology Day 2023 is “Measurements supporting the global food system”.
This theme was chosen because of the increasing challenges of climate change, and global distribution of food in a world whose population reached 8 billion at the end of 2022.
This day commemorates the signing of the Metre Convention on May 20, 1875, which established the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) and laid the foundation for a unified global measurement system.
