The legal basis of the state metrology system of Ukraine is laid down by the Ukrainian Law on Introduction of Changes to the Law of Ukraine on Metrology and Metrological Activities which came into force on 1 January, 2005.

The state metrological system consists of the State Metrology Service and metrology services of state departments, manufacturers and organisations.

The state metrological system includes:

·                     Derzhspozhyvstandart of Ukraine and its divisions;

·                     National Scientific Metrology Centre;

·                     state scientific metrology centres;

·                     regional metrology bodies;

·                     State Service of Time and Reference Frequencies;

·                     State Service of Reference Materials;

·                     State Service of Reference Data on Physical Constants and Properties of Substances and Materials.

All the activities on assuring the uniformity of measurements and improvement of the state metrology system are regulated by the authorised central executive organisation in the filed of metrology – the State Committee of Ukraine for Technical Regulation and Consumer Policy (Derzhspozhyvstandart of Ukraine).
