OIML Secretariat: International Bureau of Legal Metrology 11, rue Turgot - F-75009 Paris - France _________________________________________ Dear Colleagues, Today, we have uploaded the following Draft Basic Publications onto the Members' page for CIML preliminary ballot: - OIML B 3 "OIML Basic Certificate System for OIML Type Evaluation of Measuring Instruments" and - OIML B 10 "Framework for a Mutual Acceptance Arrangement on OIML Type Evaluations (MAA)" More information is included in the Zip file available on https://www.oiml.org/members/index.html and in the attached BIML Circulars. Please remember: 1 - That it is one of your responsibilities as CIML Member to vote on draft publications submitted for CIML direct online approval or for CIML preliminary ballot. The "Directives for the technical work" also require you to give reasons for an abstention or a negative vote. 2 - That the importance of timely online voting in order to accelerate the OIML's technical work has been stressed at all recent CIML Meetings. I will therefore be following closely the response to this ballot and reporting in detail on it to the Presidential Council and to the 46th CIML Meeting. I am the BIML Contact Person for these Draft Basic Publications. If you have any questions on them or on the approval procedure, please contact me as soon as possible. Best regards, Luis Mussio ----------------------------- Luis Mussio BIML 11 Rue Turgot Paris 75009 Tel: +33 (0)1 48 78 57 77 -----------------------------
