Who We Are

In November 1994, the Asia-Pacific Legal Metrology Forum (APLMF) was established with 14 member economies from the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) region, and they were: Australia, Canada, People's Republic of China, Indonesia, Japan, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, Chinese Taipei, Thailand and USA.

As one of the regional organizations working in close liaison with the OIML, the APLMF promotes communication and interaction among the legal metrology organizations and seeks harmonization of legal metrology in the Asia-Pacific region.

​In January 2002, Japan succeeded Australia and assumed the presidency and the secretariat until 2009, when it was passed to China. New Zealand succeeded China in 2015 as the 4th economy to hold the positions of president and secretariat in the APLMF since establishment.

The Executive Committee is responsible for implementing the delegated objectives of the Forum and comprises:

a)         the President;
b)         the immediate past President;
c)         the Secretary;
d)         three Members from three separate Member economies.
More information about the Executive committee can be found in 5.3-5.5 of the MOU.
