Additional information

Editor's note. Terminology is extremely important for metrology, so this paper is useful. However, it has become customary to use the term “means of measurement,” so it is hardly desirable to introduce a new definition for “means of measurement engineering.” As regards the suggestion on the direct introduction of the international dictionary of basic and general terms in metrology, the Publishing House for Standards in 1998 published this dictionary in Russian with equivalents for the terms in English, French, German, and Spanish (see Izmeritel'naya Tekhnika, No. 12, p. 62, 1998).
