Abstract
Methodological problems of metrology are discussed. Metrology is viewed as an empirical scientific discipline in which the basic notions are determined in an operational manner and ought to be verifiable. Relationship between metrology and theoretical and experimental scientific branches is established. From the aspect of the methodology proposed herein, certain notions of metrology are incorrectly defined and not verifiable.
