The International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) is an intergovernmental organization established in 1875 to ensure worldwide uniformity in measurements. It is responsible for maintaining the International System of Units (SI), which provides a standard framework for scientific and commercial measurements across the globe. Located in Sevres, France, the BIPM collaborates with member countries to promote the use of the SI and to develop new measurement standards. The organization also conducts research and provides training to enhance measurement capabilities, ensuring that measurements are accurate and reliable in various fields, including science, industry, and trade.
