The CIPM has established a number of Consultative Committees (CCs), 10 in total, to oversee and arrange for the comparison of national measurement standards (see Figure 1). The CCs bring together the world's experts in their specified fields as advisers on scientific and technical matters and are pivotal in the arrangement of key comparisons that compare the measurement capabilities and determine the measurement equivalence of national measurement standards. NMISA has full membership to 9 of the 10 CCs. Membership of a CC is open to institutions of Member States of the BIPM that are recognised internationally as an expert in that field. This normally requires that they: • be national laboratories charged with establishing national measurement standards in the field; • realise, keep and maintain primary standards; • be active in research and have a record of recent publications in research journals of international repute; • have demonstrated competence by a record of participation in international comparisons organised either by the CCs, the BIPM or a regional metrology organisation (RMO). NMISA play a key role in the establishment of measurement traceability and the international equivalence there-of, sitting at the interface between the national and international systems. The expanding global trade and pressure to eliminate technical barriers to trade (TBTs) creates a constant demand for greater accountability and demonstrated competence in NMIs. Figure 1.

NMISA plays a leading role in the development of metrology infrastructure in Africa, especially in support of South Africa’s immediate neighbours in SADC. A sound measurement structure is critical to the successful implementation of regional free trade agreements and elimination of TBTs. This role is emphasised in the dti’s strategic goals and the South African contribution establish harmonised regional standards. 7.1.2 The Measurement Environment Participation in international activities at CC and Technical Committee (TC) level are imperative. These interactions serve to benchmark South Africa’s capability to compete in measurement equivalence that directly impacts on our ability to disseminate traceability to the country. In order to do this, metrologists have to be extremely proficient at measurement science and techniques. This requires time and effort as it takes three to five years to master the art of metrology to the level where international participation is meaningful. It also requires sophisticated techniques, time and money and very good planning to align with the international call for participation and the availability of scientists and resources in the laboratory. This has to be balanced with national collaborative projects and research projects that are on-going as part of the performance requirements in each laboratory. The pool of young black professionals is not yet adequate and the qualification profile and availability of young black scientists must be improved. Therefore a training plan is in place for each metrologist, whether experienced or new to the field. 7.1.3 The National Environment The NMS maintained and disseminated by NMISA underpins and/or supports directly and indirectly the daily activities of South Africa on almost all levels. This role is expanded to the continent and the NMISA has established itself as the leader in metrology in Africa, where it provides the link to the international measurement system (measurement traceability) to most of sub-Saharan Africa.
