The national metrology system of the Czech Republic is fully comparable and compatible with the systems common in the member states of the Metric Convention and especially with the systems of countries in the EU. This is also reflected in the involvement in international cooperation at all relevant levels, including membership and work in the bodies of the Metric Convention, EURAMET e.V., OIML, WELMEC e.V. and others.<\/p>\n

Czechoslovakia acceded to the Convention in 1922 (see Decree No. 351\/1922 Coll.). The Czech Republic is a member as a successor state. Cooperation with the BIPM (International Bureau of Weights and Measures) is at technical level and is coordinated by the CMI.<\/p>\n Convention on the establishment of\u00a0OIML<\/a>\u00a0and the accession of Czechoslovakia was approved by the government in 1955.
