EXPLANATION
UPON
LEGISLATION OF REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA
NUMBER 2 YEAR 1981
REGARDING
LEGAL METROLOGY
GENERAL
Problems concerning all things related to metering, measuring, and weighing on
wide scale which commonly expressed by metrology issue shall cover all theory and
practices connected to measuring including its type, nature, cautious, and the
correctness.Metrology related to units of measurement, techniques or method of
measurement and gauging/metering, measuring, weighing tools and its instrument as
well as technical requirement and additional regulation which stated in or based on
Legislation, that has a purpose to acquire the correctness of measurement is called by
legal metrology (metrologie legale).
The admission of metrology becomes significantly important; it is because the
correct measure in all fields has including human safety such as:
- medical doses, raying, injection;
- blood pressure measurement, human temperature, noise pollution;
- navigation measuring, etc.Besides the correct measure itself, this legal metrology also covers
standardizing effort of Unit System in metering, measuring, weighing and its instrument
by using International System unit which also called as Modern Metric System.
This standardizing in Indonesia actually has been conducted gradually since
1923. With shifting period of 10 (ten) year, which took 15 years of implementation, then
since 1 January 1938 the unit of Metric System in metering, measurement, weigh and
its instrument had been officially issued replacing the traditional system such as elo,
kati, and others.
It is fully aware that traditional measurement along with its tools has showing
very limited usage and in phases, community will accustom themselves with thismetering unit as stated in this Law. In order to achieve the correctness in measuring on
all fields, broadcast of this subject matter to the community shall be performed by
persuasive and educative approach.
Metric Convention (Ia Convention du Metre) had been signed on 20 May 1875
by 17 countries representative in Paris. Other countries then also took part in that
convention, until on 1980, the member of Metric Convention had increased to become
46 countries, including Indonesia which joined in 1960. The main objective of this Metric
convention is to search and standardize units of measure and weighs.
In reaching its goal, then the organization from countries of the Metric
Convention has form an International Organization for Measure and Weigh (Ia
Organisation Internasionale des Poids et Mesures, shorted OIPM). The highest forum
-
7/30/2019 The President of Republic of Indonesia
13/19
from this OIPM is a general conference Weight and Measure (Ia Conference Generale
des Poids et Mesures, shorted CGPM) which straightly manage the International
Committee for Measure and Weigh (Ia Comite International des Poids et Mesures,
shorted CIPM).
CIPM has an assignment to prepare and implement decisions from CGPM.Additionally, CIPM also escort certain institution called International Bureau for Measure
and Weigh (Ie Bureau Intrnasional des Poids et Mesures, shorted BIPM).
Therefore, certain regulation regarding Legal Metrology shall be necessary.

Explanations of terms used in this Law and its implementation regulation is used to
avoid misjudge possibility. The Minister in charge on this Legal Metrology at the time of
this Law is made is the Minister of Trade and Cooperative.
Article 2
Target to be achieved is the uniform and unity of base in terms and utilization of
measure unit.
Article 3
Paragraph (1)
Until now, there is seven basic unit in the International System unit that has been
agreed by the General Conference for Weight and Measure.
Paragraph (2)The definition applied at the time this Law is made, is as declared by the General
Conference for Weight and Measure :
1. meter was based on the 11th General Conference on 1960.
2. kilogram was based on the 3rd General Conference on 1901.
3. second was based on the 13th General Conference on 1967.
4. ampere was based on the 9th General Conference on 1948.
5. kelvin was based on the 13th General Conference on 1967.
6. candela was based on the 13th General Conference on 1967.
Article 4The seventh unit symbol from these basic units constitute of decision result agreed by
the General Conference for Weight and Measure.
Article 5
Paragraph (1)
To express the multiplicity and decimal fraction, initial word/term and symbol are used
which has been agreed and determined by the General Conference for Weight and
Measure.

Article 17
Due to the use of measuring and weighing tools and its instrument are under the
supervision of Government agency in charged on matters relate on metrology,
therefore, the production of such tools are necessarily acquiring permit from related
agency for easier development and monitoring, and such tools are made with those with
high talented skills. Same goes with repair of metering, measuring and weighing tools
and its instruments for example in fixing the scale, permit shall be necessary, this is for
easier monitoring and guide.Thus, it is expected that work of fixing the scale is done by those who have skill in their
fields and with full responsibility so the scale owner will not be deceive by those admit
themselves as scale mechanic yet with no corresponding skill, solely looking for
personal profit.
