What are the objectives of the OIML Certification System under the Legal Metrology Act, 2009 ?

The objectives of the OIML Certification System are: to promote the global harmonization, uniform interpretation and implementation of legal metrological requirements for measuring instruments and/or modules; to avoid unnecessary re-testing when obtaining national type evaluations and approvals, and to support the recognition of measuring instruments and/or modules under legal metrological control, while achieving and maintaining confidence in the results in support of facilitating the global trade of individual instruments; and to establish rules and procedures for fostering mutual confidence among participating OIML Member States and Corresponding Members in the results of type evaluations that indicate conformity of measuring instruments and/or modules, under legal metrological control, to the metrological and technical requirements established in the applicable OIML Recommendation(s).
