weight measurement standards

Weight measurement standards are agreed-upon units used worldwide to ensure consistency and accuracy. The most common standard is the International System of Units (SI), where the kilogram is the primary unit of mass. Standards are maintained by official institutions, like the International Bureau of Weights and Measures, which calibrate scales and reference materials to keep measurements reliable. This ensures that, whether you're in a different country or context, a kilogram or pound represents the same weight, enabling fair trade, scientific research, and everyday transactions.
