Legal metrology

NF EN ISO/IEC 17020

Confidence in the results of the fitness for use of measurement instruments. The State made accreditation mandatory for inspection bodies carrying out these checks when it decided to transfer some of these inspection activities to the private sector, in order to refocus on its core functions.

Accreditation is now a prerequisite to maintaining approval or designation as a legal metrology inspection body. It provides assurance to consumers and citizens that the measurement instruments used in the areas subject to regulation have been correctly verified by competent entities.
