COOMET is a joint forum of metrologists of Euro-Asian region, effectively working regional metrology organization which successfully fulfils its tasks according to approved long term programmes. Cooperation within COOMET and its outcomes allow its member countries to succeed in meeting metrological challenges, faced by a national economy in the globalized market, which is necessary to facilitate and accelerate the international exchange of goods and services.

Our regional organization is open for any metrological institutions from other regions to join as associate members.
