BIPM Convention

The BIPM Convention is an international agreement that establishes the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) as a global authority for standardizing measurement units. Its goal is to ensure that measurements, like length, time, and mass, are consistent and accurate worldwide. Countries that join agree to work together through the BIPM to maintain these standards, which are vital for trade, science, technology, and daily life. Essentially, it helps make sure that when people measure the same thing, they get comparable results no matter where they are.
