metrology standards

Metrology standards are established guidelines and protocols that ensure measurements are consistent and accurate across different contexts and industries. They serve as a common reference point, allowing tools, instruments, and measurements to be compared reliably. This is crucial in fields like science, engineering, and manufacturing, where precise measurements are necessary for quality control and safety. Organizations like the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and national laboratories develop and maintain these standards to promote trust in measurement results, facilitating trade, research, and technological advancement globally.
