The Metrology Society of Australasia (MSA), has a rich and storied history. Founded in 1993 in Melbourne, Australia, now comprises over 150 individual scientists, engineers, and technicians mainly from Australia and New Zealand. Arguably, it was the first such organisation in the world. Members are involved in a wide range of activities and fields, ranging from high level international meetings on science and trade policy, to developing new primary standards, to calibrating instruments for science and industry, to peer reviewing commercial testing laboratories and to ensuring the quality and integrity of the production of goods and services. The MSA provides, amongst other things, professional recognition for its members, organises international conferences and local meetings, supports educational programs, promotes the practice of metrology and provides members with a network of experts

Maintaining historical records is an important commitment for the current national committee. Click below to find a detailed documented history of the MSA.
