The GULFMET seeks to provide a path for the development of calibration and measurement capabilities of the GULFMET member states as a mechanism for these members to gain international recognition of calibration and measurement capabilities (CMCs). In this sense, GULFMET organizes interlaboratory comparisons (ILCs) through its technical committees (GULFMET TCs) and reviews quality management systems in national metrology institutes (NMIs) in accordance with the requirements of ISO / IEC 17025.
