Committee structure of the Metre Convention

Version française

CIPM | Consultative Committees | Joint Committees |



	Under the terms of the Metre Convention, the BIPM operates under the exclusive supervision of the International Committee for Weights and Measures (Comité International des Poids et Mesures, CIPM), which itself comes under the authority of the General Conference on Weights and Measures (Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures, CGPM). The CGPM elects the members of the CIPM and brings together periodically, at present once every four years, representatives of the governments of Member States. The CIPM has established a number of Consultative Committees, which bring together the world's experts in their specified fields as advisers on scientific and technical matters.
