2020 World Metrology Day events in Chinese Taipei Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) cancelled the annual World Metrology Day conference in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic. However, relevant actions to facilitate the accuracy of measurements are still being promoted through sharing of information. The BSMI distributed the press release on Measurements for Global Trade for the theme of WMD 2020. Responding to the letter from the CIPM President on the repository of NMI Covid-19 Actions, the BSMI shared four topics to support the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, which have been published on the BIPM “Metrology in the fight against Covid-19” webpage. The BSMI is also continuing to promote the worldwide information of metrology, such as the main 2020 WMD theme, the webinar conferences “Metrology and the Updated SI” of NCSLI, etc. For further details, please visit 2020 World Metrology Day: Measurements for global trade NML’s capabilities for supporting the front line of epidemic control |
