Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals (hereinafter: DMDM) marked the World Metrology Day on May 20, 2021. On that ocasion an online conference was held on the topic "Measurement for Health".

World Metrology Day is marked on the occasion of the anniversary of the signing of the Meter Convention, which in 1875 established a framework for international cooperation in the field of metrology for industrial, trade and social applications. As a signatory to the Meter Convention since 1879, Serbia has been applying the International System of Units for 142 years. Every year, more attention is paid to a certain topic, so in 2021, the topic of the World Metrology Day is "Measurement for Health".

In previous years, the emphasis was on the revision of the International SI System of Units, as well as on the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which was an unavoidable topic when it came to progress and development. However, the Covid-19 pandemic brought many unexpected situations, so all resources and knowledge are focused on researching new ways of working and applying technology in the field of health. Metrology is already widely used in diagnostics and treatment, as well as in the continuous improvement of medical devices in order to provide accurate and reliable measurements.

The European and world metrological community is already working hard on the development of new methods and improvement of measurement systems, and through cooperation with scientific and international metrological organizations, DMDM provides exchange and transmission of information of importance to the public in our country. In this regard, within the European Regional Metrology Organization, numerous research and development projects are underway to investigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and to develop measurement methods and techniques to support diagnosis and treatment. For example, research deals with the development of accurate and reliable tests for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus, then the improvement of tests and the development of new software for detection of cardiovascular diseases, the development of new methods in the fight against antibiotic resistance, the development of software and others. Metrology, as a science of measurement, plays an important role in responding to the global public health crisis and in finding answers to the questions that the health system is looking for.

During the conference folowing topics were presented:

Metrology of ionizing radiation doses in the function of health protection - Dr Miloš Živanović, Institute of Nuclear Science ,,Vinča”
Traceability of measurements of ozone concetration in ambiental air - Jasmina Zukan Banović, DMDM
Role and importance of Laboratory for optical quantities in human health and safety protection - Boban Zarkov, DMDM
Traceability in the field of ultrasound therapy - Boris Laštro, DMDM
Techniques/methods of noninvasive blood pressure measurement - Dragan Pantić, DMDM
EMPIR project: Metrology in drug delivery - Predrag Selaković, DMDM
Practical application of metrology in healthcare - dr. Sunčica Panić, KBC ,,Dr Dragiša Mišović-Dedinje”
At the end of the conference, it was pointed out that DMDM will continue to address the challenges in the field of measurement, as well as that it will continue to develop and ensure the application of appropriate measurement infrastructure in order to prevent and improve our health.

Direkcija za mere i dragocene metale (DMDM) uzela je aktivno učešće u manifestaciji Noći muzeja u Muzeju nauke i tehnike. Tim povodom su široj javnosti izloženi eksponati garniture etalon tegova iz 1958. godine i pozlaćeni etalon teg od 1 kg. Tema manifestacije je bila Sloboda, a izložbeni eksponati su simbolizovali međunarodni prototip kilograma koji je 20.maja ove godine zamenjen definicijom kilograma preko Plakove konstante, čime se omogućava realizacija ove jedinice širom sveta – Sloboda za kilogram. Aktuelnom redefinicijom sve jedinice Međunarodnog sistema jedinica su izražene preko prirodnih konstanti čime je ispunjena vodeća ideologija metrologije, a to su merne jedinice za sva vremena i za sve ljude.

Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals (hereinafter: DMDM) hosted workshop in the field of measurement of relative humidity within project 16RPT HUMEA – Expansion of European research capabilities in humidity measurement, the European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research – EMPIR.
The Workshop took place on 16th of May 2019 in library of DMDM. Workshop attended 30 representatives of end users and interested parties from pharmaceutical, metal and automotive industry, from laboratories of Serbian Armed Forces, from the field of energetics – gass industry as well as from accreditated laboratories and other laboratories in the Republic of Serbia. After introductiory address and welcome of Dr. Dušan Matijašević, assistant director for Metrology development; Slavica Simić, head of Group for thermometry and Srđan Radoš, assistant on EMPIR project HUMEA transfered knowledge and results of the project on behalf of DMDM and other representatives of Consortium partners.
At the end of the workshop conducted survey gave guidelines for further research and development in the field of relative humidity. For more information you may visit: www.empir-humea.org

On the 14th of May 2019 in full hall of the Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Rasina Administrative District the World Metrology Day was marked. Each year it is marked on the 20th of May, the day when the Meter Convention was signed in 1875.
This year, topic of the World Metrology Day is: The International System of Units – Fundamentally better. This topic was chosen, because on the 16th of November 2018, the General Conference on Weights and Measures adopted one of the most significant revisions of the International System of units (SI) since it’s foundation. Research of new measurement methods, including those used for quantum phenomena, confirm adopted redefinition. The SI is now founded on set of definitions, each of them is related with laws of physics. It has advantage of being able to contribute to further development in metrology and technology, in order to meet the needs of many users in years ahead.
Happening was followed by student music program of Music high school „Stevan Hristić“ from Kruševac. On behalf of of the Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Rasina Administrative District guests were welcomed by Ms Aleksandra Aleksić, who expressed pleasure with large response of the participants and Mr Čedomir Belić, Acting Director of Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals who emphasized that application of new International system of units begins this year, exactly on the 20th of May, the World Metrology Day. Four base units belonging to this system were redefined, these are: the kilogram, the mole, the kelvin and the ampere. Citizens won’t fell change in everyday measurements, but it is of significant importance for scientific public.
On professional meeting following presentations were shown:
1. Kilogram revision, Boris Laštro, metrology scientist for mass and pressure
2. Amper revision, Marina Pavićević, metrology scientist for electrical resistance
3. Kelvin revision, Slavica Simić, head of Group for thermometry
