He made the statement at a workshop held in in Ha Long city, northern QuangNinh province with the theme ‘Developing national measurement facility towards2025 with orientation towards 2030’.
The plan aims to develop a competitive and modern national measurement abilityto meet the requirements of global integration and ensure accurate measurementsof business activities.
Minister Anh said metrology is a technical and scientific field that requiresaccuracy and plays a key role in business, society, scientific research,security and national defence.
Accurate metrology contributes to ensuring social equality, legal rights andbenefits of every organisation and individual in civic and economic exchanges.
It also helps boost scientific and technological innovation, strengthens Statemanagement and increases productivity and good quality.
“Although Vietnam has made progress in the field, national metrology qualityremains at average level among ASEAN countries,” he said.
National metrology has not caught up with global trend of developing metrologyas a strong tool to improve business and national economic competitiveness. Italso has not met criteria of emerging and important manufacturing and businesssectors such as supportive industry, mechanical engineering, electronics andtelecommunication, high-tech equipment and logistics.
The current metrology equipment system of Vietnam has met only 70 to 75 percentof requirements, Anh said.
He said Vietnam hopes to recognise at least 300 measurementmethods meeting international standards and develop at least 250measurement devices and conduct measurements, such as productivity and goods’quality, at about 100,000 enterprises nationwide and apply national measurementstandards at 2,000 laboratories across the country.
Scientists agreed at the workshop that it was necessary to improve professionalcapacity of employees working in metrology in line with regional and globalmeasurement standards while focusing on developing measurement facilities atbusinesses, ministries and localities.-VNA
