BIPM (International Bureau of Weights and Measures)

The International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) is a global organization based in France that ensures measurement standards are consistent worldwide. It develops and maintains official units of measurement, like the kilogram or meter, enabling scientists, industries, and governments to communicate and compare data accurately. By coordinating international efforts, the BIPM helps ensure that measurements are precise, reliable, and standardized across different countries, supporting global trade, technology, and scientific research.
