Synopsis:

After a brief description of the role of the most important domestic and foreign metrological organizations and institutions, explanation is focused on units of measurable quantities and possibilities of their definition, realization, conservation and reproduction by means of measurement standards. After that, attention is paid to measurement methods and techniques for evaluating and increasing measurement accuracy. Facilities and methods applicable to precision measurements of both active and passive electrical quantities are described.
