| Zusammenfassung | WELMEC is the European Co-operation in Legal Metrology. The principal aim of WELMEC is to establish a harmonised and consistent approach to European legal metrology in the light of the increasing international trade in measuring instruments and measured goods and to support the consumer protection and fair trade. WELMEC is concerned with the establishment, maintenance and improvement of channels of communication between its members and associate members and aims to develop mutual confidence through participation in common activities. The Committee is the central controlling and decision-taking forum in the co-operation. It comprises three categories of individuals: members, associate members and observer organisations. The Secretariat is responsible for carrying out or monitoring the decisions of the Committee and for preparing papers for Committee meetings and handling correspondence with other interested bodies. The detailed discussion takes place in meetings of the Working Groups. WELMEC has published a number of important information and guidance documents for the application of European Directives. These documents are listed in a table. In developing a strategy to achieve its declared objectives, WELMEC has forced close links with other bodies interested in metrology, certification and testing. Many measuring instruments used world-wide are subject to legal control. So the technical specifications of measuring instruments and the requirements for testing and conformity assessment should be harmonised in order to remove barriers to trade and to achieve fair trade and a high level of protection for the consumer. For this reason WELMEC will continue to extend and deepen its links with other regional and international bodies with interest in legal metrology. |
