SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

International Organization of Legal 

Metrology (OIML) is an 

intergovernmental treaty organization in 

which the United States and 59 other 

nations are members. Its principal 

purpose is to harmonize national laws 

and regulations pertaining to testing and 

verifying the performance of legal 

measuring instruments used for equity 

in commerce, for public and worker 

health and safety, and for monitoring 

and protecting the environment. The 

harmonized results promote the 

international trade of measuring 

instruments and products affected by 

measurement. 

Twenty Recommendations will be 

presented for ratification by the 

Conference in the following two 

categories: (1) Those already approved 

by the International Committee of Legal 

Metrology (CIML) between 2001 and 

2003; and (2) those that are expected to 

be submitted directly to the Conference 

for ratification. These Recommendations
