5月20日為世界計(jì)量日，是1875年簽署《米制公約》的周年紀(jì)念日。《米制公約》為建立全球協(xié)調(diào)一致的計(jì)量體系奠定了基礎(chǔ)，為科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)與創(chuàng)新、工業(yè)制造、國際貿(mào)易，乃至生活質(zhì)量提升和全球環(huán)境保護(hù)提供支撐。

　　2020年世界計(jì)量日的主題是“測量支撐全球貿(mào)易”。該主題旨在提高人們對測量的認(rèn)識(shí)，了解測量在促進(jìn)全球公平貿(mào)易、確保產(chǎn)品合標(biāo)合規(guī)，以及滿足顧客質(zhì)量期望中所起到的重要作用。

　　縱觀全球，各國國家計(jì)量院致力于通過開發(fā)和驗(yàn)證各種復(fù)雜尖端的新測量技術(shù)，持續(xù)推動(dòng)測量科學(xué)進(jìn)步。同時(shí)，積極參加國際計(jì)量局（BIPM）組織協(xié)調(diào)的測量領(lǐng)域國際比對，以確保測量結(jié)果全球可靠。

　　國際法制計(jì)量組織（OIML）制定“國際建議”，旨在實(shí)現(xiàn)多領(lǐng)域相關(guān)要求的全球一致性和協(xié)調(diào)性，并通過實(shí)施國際法制計(jì)量組織證書互認(rèn)制度（OIML-CS），促進(jìn)法制管理的計(jì)量器具的國際互認(rèn)和全球貿(mào)易。

　　這些國際計(jì)量體系為測量的準(zhǔn)確性提供了必要的保證和信心，為當(dāng)今的全球貿(mào)易奠定了堅(jiān)實(shí)基礎(chǔ)，并幫助我們?yōu)閼?yīng)對未來挑戰(zhàn)做好準(zhǔn)備。

　　世界計(jì)量日代表所有人肯定和頌揚(yáng)所有工作在政府間組織和各國家機(jī)構(gòu)中的人們一年來為計(jì)量所做的貢獻(xiàn)。

　　關(guān)于“世界計(jì)量日”

　　世界計(jì)量日是一個(gè)年度性的活動(dòng)，全球80多個(gè)國家在此期間慶祝計(jì)量對我們?nèi)粘Ｉ畹挠绊憽?/p>

　　1875年5月20日《米制公約》的簽署，標(biāo)志著全球計(jì)量領(lǐng)域合作的正式開啟。這一天也因此被定為世界計(jì)量日，以表紀(jì)念。每年，國際計(jì)量局（BIPM）和國際法制計(jì)量組織（OIML）聯(lián)合舉辦世界計(jì)量日活動(dòng)，各國國家計(jì)量機(jī)構(gòu)參與。

　　國際計(jì)量界致力于確保全球測量結(jié)果的準(zhǔn)確性，在每個(gè)世界計(jì)量日都以海報(bào)和網(wǎng)站的宣傳形式提高大眾對計(jì)量的認(rèn)識(shí)。以往世界計(jì)量日的主題包括：計(jì)量與全球能源挑戰(zhàn)，計(jì)量與安全，計(jì)量與創(chuàng)新，以及動(dòng)態(tài)世界中的計(jì)量，環(huán)境、醫(yī)學(xué)、貿(mào)易中的測量等。

　　關(guān)于國際計(jì)量局

　　1875年《米制公約》的簽署，正式開啟了計(jì)量的國際合作，并創(chuàng)建了國際計(jì)量局（BIPM），為建立全方位的全球統(tǒng)一的測量奠定基礎(chǔ)。歷史上，測量重點(diǎn)關(guān)注和支持工業(yè)和貿(mào)易發(fā)展，現(xiàn)在，它與應(yīng)對氣候變化、健康和能源等21世紀(jì)重大挑戰(zhàn)一樣至關(guān)重要。BIPM選取某些特定物理量和化學(xué)量開展最高水平的科學(xué)工作，同時(shí)它也是一個(gè)由各國國家計(jì)量院（NMIs）聯(lián)結(jié)而成的全球計(jì)量網(wǎng)絡(luò)的樞紐。通過這一網(wǎng)絡(luò)，BIPM在世界范圍內(nèi)建立起溯源到SI的溯源鏈，并向各國認(rèn)可實(shí)驗(yàn)室和工業(yè)界傳遞。

　　關(guān)于國際法制計(jì)量組織

　　1955年，國際法制計(jì)量組織（OIML）成立。作為一個(gè)政府間組織，它致力于促進(jìn)法制計(jì)量規(guī)則的全球統(tǒng)一，其秘書處和總部是國際法制計(jì)量局（BIML）。自成立以來，OIML建立了一個(gè)全球性的技術(shù)架構(gòu)，目的在于協(xié)調(diào)各國國家計(jì)量部門或相關(guān)組織采用的計(jì)量法規(guī)和計(jì)量管理的一致性。

　　May 20 is World Metrology Day, commemorating the anniversary of the signing of the Metre Convention in 1875. This treaty provides the basis for a worldwide coherent measurement system that underpins scientific discovery and innovation, industrial manufacturing and international trade, as well as the improvement of the quality of life and the protection of the global environment.

　　The theme for World Metrology Day 2020 is Measurements for global trade. This theme was chosen to create awareness of the important role measurement plays in facilitating fair global trade, ensuring products meet standards and regulations, and satisfying customer quality expectations.

　　Across the world, national metrology institutes continually advance measurement science by developing and validating new measurement techniques at the necessary level of sophistication. The national metrology institutes participate in measurement comparisons coordinated by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) to ensure the reliability of measurement results worldwide.

　　The International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) develops International Recommendations, which aim to align and harmonise requirements worldwide in many fields. The OIML also operates the OIML Certification System (OIML-CS) which facilitates international acceptance and global trade of regulated measuring instruments.

　　These international metrology systems provide the necessary assurance and confidence that measurements are accurate, providing a sound basis for global trade today and helping us to prepare for the challenges of tomorrow.

　　World Metrology Day recognises and celebrates the contribution of all the people that work in intergovernmental and national metrology organisations and institutes throughout the year.

　　Notes for Editors:

　　World Metrology Day is an annual event during which more than 80 countries celebrate the impact of measurement on our daily lives.

　　This date was chosen in recognition of the signing of the Metre Convention on 20 May 1875, the beginning of formal international collaboration in metrology. Each year World Metrology Day is organised and celebrated jointly by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) and the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) with the participation of the national organisations responsible for metrology.

　　The international metrology community which works to ensure that accurate measurements can be made across the world endeavours to raise awareness each World Metrology Day through a poster campaign and web site. Previous themes have included topics such as measurements for the global energy challenge, for safety, for innovation, and measurements in sport, the environment, medicine and trade.

　　About the BIPM

　　The signing of the Metre Convention in 1875 created the BIPM and for the first time formalised international cooperation in metrology. The Convention established the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and laid the foundations for worldwide uniformity of measurement in all aspects of our endeavours, historically focusing on and assisting industry and trade, but today just as vital as we tackle the grand challenges of the 21st Century such as climate change, health, and energy. The BIPM undertakes scientific work at the highest level on a selected set of physical and chemical quantities. The BIPM is the hub of a worldwide network of national metrology institutes (NMIs) which continue to realise and disseminate the chain of traceability to the SI into national accredited laboratories and industry.

　　About the OIML

　　In 1955 the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) was established as an Intergovernmental Treaty Organisation in order to promote the global harmonisation of legal metrology procedures with the Bureau International de Métrologie Légale (BIML) as the Secretariat and Headquarters of the OIML. Since that time, the OIML has developed a worldwide technical structure whose primary aim is to harmonise the regulations and metrological controls applied by the national metrological services, or related organisations.
