| Consultative Committee | CCM (Consultative Committee for Mass and Related Quantities) |
| Conducted by | EURAMET (European Association of National Metrology Institutes) |
| RMO Internal Identifier | EURAMET Project No 1603 |
| Comments | The comparison of absolute gravimeters will be organized as a key comparison linked to the CCM.G-K2.2023 by means of joint participants. According to the CCM–IAG Strategy for Metrology in Absolute Gravimetry, additional comparison will be organized simultaneously with the key comparison for institutes not being EURAMET members or associates. Main objectives are to validate the published CMCs and to contribute to the realization of the International Terrestrial Gravity Reference Frame. The comparison will be piloted by VÚGTK (Czechia) and organized at the Geodetic Observatory Wettzell (Germany) with participants from 6 NMI/DIs and 8 non-NMI/DIs. |
