The European Association of National Metrology Institutes (EURAMET) is a Regional Metrology Organisation (RMO) of Europe. It coordinates the cooperation of National Metrology Institutes (NMI) of Europe in fields like research in metrology, traceability of measurements to the SI units, international recognition of national measurement standards and of the Calibration and Measurement Capabilities (CMC) of its members. Among these tasks, EURAMET is responsible for the elaboration and execution of a European Metrology Reseach Programme (EMRP). EURAMET e.V. is a registered association of public utility under German law. Since 1 July 2007 EURAMET e.V. is the successor of EUROMET.

  EURAMET in Short: Brief information on organisation and contacts.

European metrology was coordinated successfully over almost 20 years by EUROMET, the European Collaboration in Measurement Standards, based on a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). New challenges for the European metrology, like aiming at a higher level of integration and coordination of metrology research in the framework of an EMRP, revealed the need to establish a legal entity for the coordination of European metrology.

The establishment of a legal entity has been prepared in the iMERA-Project. As a result, EURAMET e.V. was inaugurated on 11 January 2007 in Berlin, Germany.
The 21st EUROMET General Assembly in Teddington, UK, from 30 to 31 May 2007, took the decision to terminate the EUROMET MoU with effect from 30 June 2007. All activities and responsibilities as RMO (Regional Metrology Organisation) have been transferred to EURAMET e.V. with effect from 1 July 2007.
