In the past, BIML inquiries on the implementation of OIML International Recommendations were organized every four years in conjunction with the OIML Conference.

Starting from the 2008 Sydney Conference, this inquiry has now become a permanent survey. CIML Members, Representatives of OIML Corresponding Members and representatives of those countries that requested to participate in the inquiry can fill in their country's responses directly online, and may easily update the information at any time.

The new survey concerns national regulation of the categories of measuring instrument covered by OIML Recommendations.

The BIML wishes to emphasize the fact that the information provided, and hence the results published on the OIML web site, are the sole responsibility of the CIML Member or Corresponding Member Representative; the BIML cannot be held liable for inaccurate or incomplete information.
