Resolution 3 of the 20th CGPM (1995)

The need for long-term metrological research

The 20th Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures,

considering

• the continual increase in demand for accurate and efficient measurement in science, technology and international trade,
• that the development of improved measurement standards and techniques needs to be carried out well in advance of their application in science and industry,
• that these developments can only take place on the basis of a solid foundation of long-term metrological research closely linked to advances in science,

recommends that national laboratories

• continue to undertake long-term metrological research as well as meeting the more immediate requirements of measurement services and
• keep the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures informed as to the results of the work related to fundamental metrology.
