May 20 is International Metrology Day, marking the anniversary of the signing of the Meter Convention in 1875 by representatives of seventeen countries. The Convention sets the framework for global cooperation in the field of metrology and its industrial, commercial and public applications. The original purpose of the Meter Convention - the worldwide unity of measurements - remains as important today as it was when it was signed.
