Metrology Symposium 2020

Details:
On 10 January 2020, the School of Science and Technology co-organized the Metrology Symposium 2020 with the Standards and Calibration Laboratory (SCL), the Government Laboratory and the Hong Kong Council for Testing and Certification in the context of the recent redefinition of the International System of Units (SI).

The revised SI with all seven base units linked to the laws of physics came into force on the World Metrology Day last year (20 May).  The Symposium started off with a keynote speech on the history of setting up primary standards of physical measurements for Hong Kong by SCL Head of Laboratory Mr Tsui Cho-man, the symposium took participants – many of them practitioners of the testing and certification industry – through the developments of measurement methods and their implications on science and technology.
