The CIPM MRA is open to the NMIs of the Member States of the Metre Convention, to certain international and intergovernmental organizations invited by the CIPM, and to the NMIs of Associate States and Economies of the General Conference. This third category results from the decision of the 21st CGPM to create a category of Associate of the CGPM (see Resolution 3) with the specific purpose of providing a way of establishing links to the world's measurement system for those States not yet Members of the Metre Convention. The NMIs of Associates participate in the MRA through their local regional metrology organization as specified in the text of the MRA.
The procedures for a State to become a Member State of the Metre Convention or for a State or Economy to become an Associate of the General Conference can be found below.
