Metrology is variously described as the science of measurement; the science of accuracy and precision; the history of measures; the history of measurement and other definitions. It is a field of study which has been highly politicized and nationalized with sharp even severe rhetoric as the field progressed.
Introduction
Metrology, as defined by the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) in its 2000 publication International Vocabulary of Terms in Legal Metrology is the "Science of Measurement." Legal metrology is further defined in this same international standard as: "part of metrology relating to activities which result from statutory requirements and concern measurement, units of measurement, measuring instruments and methods of measurement and which are performed by competent bodies." International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) further defines metrology as "...the science of measurement, embracing both experimental and theoretical determinations at any level of uncertainty in any field of Science and Technology."

Historical development
Metrology was originally a study of historical measurement examining ancient, beginning of history documents from Assyria, Egypt, Greece and Roman origin. Early metrologists asserted that early cultures used a system of measurement in commerce that created a foundation for the study of scientific measurement. The studies by John Greaves (1602-1652) and Eduard Bernard (1638-1697) assert that a basic unit of measurement was used between cultures of the time based on the foot or cubit and that the basic measure of length cubed and filled with rainwater gives the basic measure of weight as a standard.
