The 150th anniversary of the Metre Convention also provides an opportunity to review the history of legal metrology, one of the three subfields of metrology, from its beginning, and thereby to better understand its current goals and tools. Where appropriate, the connections with other branches of metrology are briefly pointed out, as well as with the Metre Convention and its regarding institutions.
