CCU/CCQM Workshop on "The metrology of quantities which can be counted"

The recent CCU/CCQM Workshop on “The metrology of quantities which can be counted” (28-30 March 2023) was a great success with speakers discussing aspects of counting and number quantities within many different fields of metrology. One of the Coordinators of the Workshop was General Director of NSC "Institute of Metrology", CIPM Member Prof. P. Neyezhmakov.

The three sessions were followed by 314 participants. Some areas for clarification relating to the treatment of counting as a measurement process and the description of number quantities in the SI Brochure and in the VIM were identified.

As a follow up to the workshop, the existing CCU Task Group on Angles and Dimensionless Quantities in the SI Brochure will create a focus group, including participants from the Consultative Committees which have identified specific issues to be addressed (e.g. CCQM, CCRI and CCPR). The focus group shall make a proposal to the CCU on how to clarify the text of the SI Brochure related to counting and number quantities. Once the proposed changes to the SI Brochure are agreed, the Consultative Committees can build on this in clarifying aspects related to counting in the mises-en-pratique for their respective fields. The treatment of counting and number quantities in the VIM will be taken forward separately by JCGM-WG2: VIM, many of whose representatives were present at the workshop.

Most of the workshop presentations are available from the BIPM web site and the two missing ones will be added as soon as possible.
