BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures)

The BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures) is an international organization that ensures measurements are consistent and accurate worldwide. Located in France, it develops and maintains standard units of measurement, like the meter and kilogram, so that scientists, engineers, and industries can communicate and operate reliably across borders. By coordinating and calibrating measurement systems, the BIPM promotes global precision and fairness in trade, science, and technology, fostering trust and cooperation among nations through unified measurement standards.
