The legal basis of the System for ensuring uniformity of measurements of Georgia (SEUM) was laid down in 1996 in the law "Ensuring uniformity of measurements" (amended in 2005) and the Resolutions of Georgian Government.

The organisational structure of SEUM is represented by:

-  State metrology service;

-  Service of time and frequencies (STF);

-  Service of reference materials (SRM);

-  Service of reference data (SRD);

-  Accredited verification, calibration and test laboratories.

-  Metrological services of state governing bodies and agents of management.

 

The Sate metrology service is headed by a national metrology body – Georgian National Agency for Standards, Technical Regulations and Metrology (GeoStandMetrology).
