D-8 Workshop on Metrology was successfully held in Gebze- Turkey. The workshop was a three days workshop held between 6 and 8 May 2013 and was hosted by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK).

The goal of this workshop was to provide fundamental information to participants about general metrology, accreditation and uncertainly calculation. It was expected that through this goal, D-8 Member countries could follow the trend of progress in industrial metrology.

Furthermore, metrology is not an activity that is only carried out in specialized institutes or calibration laboratories. In order to meet the needs of society for accurate and reliable measurements in all its many applications, a strong spirit of metrology must also exist in D-8 companies and D-8 enterprises that make the instruments and that use them to make measurements.
