20 mai 2022 : Journée mondiale de la métrologie en RD Congo

En RD Congo, les activités de métrologie relèvent de la responsabilité du Ministère ayant l’Industrie dans ses attributions et sont caractérisées notamment par :

1. Une législation lacunaire : La pratique actuelle est régie par un Décret Royal de 1910 et d’autres textes dépassés.
2. Une pratique très faible eu égard aux défis actuels d’intégration économique, de modernisation et d’émergence caractérisée par l ’usage dans le commerce courant des outils inadéquats tels : sakombi, mopiko, ekolo, kambeketshi, etc.
3. La pratique quasi généralisée de la facturation forfaitaire des denrées de base que sont l’eau et l’électricité. Cette situation ternit l’image du commerce national et constitue une source de conflit et un frein à l’intégration national et au développement durable.
4. Une tendance (à soutenir) à l’amélioration de la situation se traduisant par :
• La Proposition de Loi sur la Métrologie et la Normalisation adoptée au Senat depuis 2014 et en attente à l’Assemblée Nationale ;
• Une dynamique positive dans la société civile insufflée par l’APROMEN ASBL/ONGD qui mène des campagnes de sensibilisation et de plaidoyer en la matière ;
• La volonté d’accompagnement à la campagne de sensibilisation manifestée par des Partenaires Internes et Externes pour intensifier la formation sur les fondamentaux de la Métrologie et la Normalisation et appuyer des réformes urgentes eu égards aux enjeux économiques actuels.

La commémoration de la Journée mondiale de la métrologie célèbre le rôle de tous ceux qui oeuvrent pour le développement et la pratique de la métrologie en tant qu’outil de promotion de la qualité, de la sécurité, de l’équité, de la justice économique … du bien être pour tous.

WMD 2022 in Switzerland - METAS

On 20 May 1875, representatives of 17 States, including Switzerland, signed the International Meter Convention in Paris. Its original objective - the worldwide standardization of measurement - is just as important today as it was then.

Improved measurement principles made new technical applications possible in the first place. This is no different in the digital era. Metrology also forms the basis behind the keywords artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, digital twins, Industry 4.0. Only with reliably functioning measuring instruments can we dovetail digital technology and automated data processing in everyday life.

To bring the tasks metrology in the digital era to the point for a wider audience, the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology METAS has produced a short video. Let yourself be surprised and visit Lea in the lab. www.metas.ch/wmd2022 (in German)
