The final day commenced with an in-depth discussion on the progress of interlaboratory comparisons, led by the coordinating laboratories. Proposals for new interlaboratory comparisons were also presented, addressing issues related to air pollution.

At the conclusion of the meeting, Dr. Hai Wu, Chair of the Gas Analysis Working Group, presented the group’s strategy for 2025–2030. The strategy focuses on developing high-accuracy, SI-traceable gas reference materials for carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and carbon monoxide, with the aim of reducing uncertainties to meet the compatibility goals of the World Meteorological Organization’s Global Atmosphere Watch (WMO-GAW).

Following the discussions, participants visited the Gas Laboratory at NMIM, guided by Dr. Mohamad Fauzi and Mr. Mohammad Khairul.

The day concluded with an industry visit to Air Products factory where participants gained valuable insights into their gas filling operations and safety. Our sincere thanks to Air Products for their warm hospitality.

As we bid farewell to this enriching event, we leave with valuable knowledge, new connections, and memorable experiences from these three impactful days. Heartfelt appreciation goes to all speakers, NMIs, participants, and organizers for making this event a success. Until we meet again!

We are pleased to share that Nurul Farhana binti Mohd Fakri and Nurfarhana Nabila binti Ridzuan, representing the National Metrology Institute of Malaysia (NMIM), have successfully completed the Asia-Pacific Metrology Summer School, hosted by the National Institute of Metrology (Thailand) NIMT at the Miracle Grand Convention Hotel in Bangkok from 4 to 8 August 2025. This intensive, intermediate-level course focused on Electricity Measurement, encompassing AC-DC Transfer Measurement, DC Resistance, and Impedance, delivered through a purposeful blend of expert lectures and practical workshops.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the exceptional trainers whose guidance was instrumental to the program’s success: Dr. Yasutaka Amagai (NMIJ), Dr. Dong-Hun Chae (KRISS), Dr. Sivinee Sawatdiaree, Dr. Monthol Homklintian (supported by Mrs. Natenapit Khumthukthit, Dr. Jutarat Thanarom, and Miss Tanunya Klauytong), Dr. Yaowaret Pimsut (supported by Mr. Kongsak Tongboon and Mr. Chutipong Tum), and Dr. Chaiwat Jessadajin (assisted by Miss Noppawan Tipkanon, Mrs. Natenapit Khumthukthit, and Miss Kanyaporn Ketton).

A special note of gratitude goes to NIMT Thailand for orchestrating such a rich and impactful educational experience that reinforces regional metrology excellence. Congratulations to our participants. Your dedication and newly acquired expertise will significantly enhance NMIM’s measurement capabilities and contribute meaningfully to the broader metrology community.

On 2 August 2025, NMIM successfully increased Malaysia’s total number of Calibration and Measurement Capabilities (CMCs) with the publication of 6 new CMCs in the field of Temperature: Liquid-in-glass thermometers covering the range from -80 °C to 300 °C and 2 CMCs in the field of Chemistry: Ethanol in aqueous solution for the range of 0.5 mg/g to 5 mg/g and Methane in Nitrogen, covering the range from 10.51 µmol/mol to 5.00E5 µmol/mol; in the International Bureau of Weights and Measures Key Comparison Database (BIPM KCDB).

The 145 CMCs currently published for Malaysia in the BIPM KCDB—spanning a broad range of fields and offering the smallest uncertainties—together with additional CMCs currently in the pipeline, play a crucial role in strengthening the national metrology infrastructure and act as a key foundation for eliminating measurement-related Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT).
