On behalf of the BIPM, a study was carried out by KPMG Consulting with three main goals:

  • to study the economics of central coordination of multilateral relationships between individual national metrology institutes (NMIs);
  • to study the MRA's potential impact on economic efficiency as a facilitator of reductions in technical barriers to trade; and
  • to present a set of arguments that might be useful in ensuring that potential economic benefits associated directly with the MRA are actually realized.
