The institute is the UK member body of the International Measurement Confederation (IMEKO)[2] and is the secretariat to the United Kingdom Automatic Control Council (UKACC).
This Institute currently has range of Special Interest Groups that organize conferences, seminars and training courses on subjects in the measurement and control fields.
