Overview
The National Measurement Institute (NMI) has been working with the International Organisation of Legal Metrology (OIML) to review the international standard for Multidimensional Measuring Instruments. The OIML R 129 standard is the international Recommendation for the requirements and testing procedures used to evaluate these instruments.
As part of this process, we are seeking input on the Fourth Committee Draft (4 CD) of the review of OIML R 129: ‘Multidimensional Measuring Instruments’.
The comments you provide will form part of a consolidated Australian submission on the 4 CD of the review of OIML R 129. Your insights will allow NMI to better represent Australian industry and facilitate international trade through this international Recommendation.
