APLMF Mission Statement

The Asia-Pacific Legal Metrology Forum (APLMF) is a grouping of legal metrology authorities, whose objective is the development of legal metrology and the promotion of free and open trade in the region through the harmonisation and removal of technical or administrative barriers to trade in the field of legal metrology. As one of the regional organisations working in close liaison with the OIML, the APLMF promotes communication and interaction among the legal metrology organisations and seeks harmonisation of legal metrology in the Asia Pacific region.

APMP, APLAC and APLMF are recognized by the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), as Specialist Regional Bodies. Specialist Regional Bodies assist the APEC Sub-committee on Standards and Conformance to meet the objective of eliminating technical barriers to trade within the region.​

OIML Certificate Systems

The aim of the Metrology Asia Pacific webportal is to improve the sharing of information resources between member economies of Asia-Pacific Metrology Programme (APMP) and APLMF to enable them to increase awareness of the importance of metrology with consumers, industry, other regulators and government.
​

It provides access to resources that meet multiple needs for communication and engagement with stakeholders on issues. Examples like case studies and policy briefs (which you can find on the webportal) help to communicate to both metrologist and non-metrologist.
