About the Croatian Metrology Society

The Croatian Metrology Society - HMD is a non-governmental, non-profit association founded to accomplish goals and tasks laid down by its Statute and the Law on Associations. Since its foundation thirty years ago (in 1978), the HMD has been joined by three hundred natural persons and about fifty legal entities interested in metrology and similar activities that are linked to metrology, for example: standardization, accreditation, technical regulation and others.
