BIPM

The BIPM, or International Bureau of Weights and Measures, is an organization that helps countries agree on consistent measurement standards. It manages the globally agreed units of measurement, like the meter and kilogram, ensuring measurements are accurate and comparable worldwide. By doing so, it supports international trade, science, and technology, helping different nations communicate and work together with confidence in their measurements. Essentially, BIPM acts as the global reference point for measurement standards, maintaining uniformity so that when something is measured anywhere in the world, everyone understands and trusts the result.
