Links between the BIPM and the OECD

• The BIPM cooperates with the OECD within the "Partnership of international organisations for effective international rulemaking" (IO Partnership) to promote the value of a sound approach to metrology and the contribution of the national metrology infrastructures.

Purpose

The OECD is an international organization that works to build better policies for better lives. Together with governments, policy makers and citizens, the OECD works on establishing evidence-based international standards and finding solutions to a range of social, economic and environmental challenges.

The BIPM and the OECD cooperate to use the IO Partnership for effective dissemination of information on the importance of the quality infrastructure and particularly metrology as one of its key components in the wide-ranging activities of the IO Partnership.

The OECD established the IO Partnership as a voluntary platform of International Organizations (IOs), academics and OECD Regulatory Policy Committee delegates, to exchange good practices and promote greater quality, effectiveness, and impact in international rulemaking.
