What is the OIML?
The International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) is an intergovernmental treaty organization whose membership includes Member States, countries which participate actively in technical activities, and Corresponding Members, countries which join the OIML as observers. It was established in 1955 (see the Convention) in order to promote the global harmonization of legal metrology procedures. Since that time, the OIML has developed a worldwide technical structure that provides its Members with metrological guidelines for the elaboration of national and regional requirements concerning the manufacture and use of measuring instruments for legal metrology applications.

中文介紹
國際法定度量衡組織（International Organization for Legal Metrology，OIML），根據1955年10月12日在巴黎簽訂的《國際法定度量衡組織公約》成立，是政府間法定計量國際組織。該組織的宗旨是提供並促進各國法定度量衡系統及量測儀器共同的國際基礎，促進各締約國計量部門之間的聯繫。
該組織的最高決策機構是大會，常設領導機構為委員會，國際法計量局為其常設辦事機構，設有一個文獻和情報中心。該組織側重於度量衡計量單位的實務套用，它本身沒有自己的實驗室，對於量測儀器具以及量測技術的研究發展工作，通常委託成員國的國家實驗室進行。
目前，參加國際法定度量衡組織的會員國有55個。中國政府於1985年3月26日向法國政府交存加入書，同年4月26日對中國生效。
