The NMO is the UK participating member of R51 and is responsible for collecting the UK views on proposed amendments to the technical working documents for OIML R 51 Automatic catchweighing instruments.

All comments made will be collated to form the UK input for this project.

Notes:

OIML is an intergovernmental treaty organisation which:

• develops model regulations, standards and related documents for use by legal metrology authorities and industry
• provides mutual recognition systems which reduce trade barriers and costs in a global market
• represents the interests of the legal metrology community within international organizations and forums concerned with metrology, standardization, testing, certification and accreditation
• promotes and facilitates the exchange of knowledge and competencies within the legal metrology community worldwide
• cooperates with other metrology bodies to raise awareness of the contribution that a sound legal metrology infrastructure can make to a modern economy
