OIML played an important role in harmonizing national laws and regulations on the performance of various instruments such as clinical thermometers, alcohol breath analysers, radar measuring instruments, etc. Meanwhile, India became a member of the OIML in 1956, the same year India signed the Metric Convention. India is the 13th nation that can now issue OIML certification to both domestic and global manufacturers.
