China Instrument and Meter Society
The China Instrument and Meter Society (CIMS) is a professional organization dedicated to advancing the industry of measurement and control instruments, systems and services in China. The society has grown steadily with strong international collaboration in research, training, and policy development and is now one of the world’s leading organizations in this field.
The goal of the society is to promote and advance the instruments, meter and control product industry in China, and to enhance the automation function and quality of measured quantity control technology, product services, and research. To this end, the CIMS works to develop industry standards, strengthen collaborations with industry representatives, and implement certification and training programs.
To achieve its objectives of promoting the development of instrumentation and meters in China, the CIMS strives to build professional reading and communication platforms for industry-related personnel, organize professional or technical seminars and activities, strengthen the applications of various instruments and meters in scientific research and industrial production, display the progress of technology in the instrument and meter industry, and promote knowledge exchanges to stimulate innovation and technology development.
The CIMS actively encourages Chinese manufacturers, distributors, research and development personnel, teachers and students to become members either as individuals or as organizational representatives. The society operates four main departments responsible for promotion, training, exchange and research. Since its inception in 1992, CIMS has made a substantial contribution to the growth of the industry.
The CIMS also cooperates with other national and international organizations in the instrumentation and meter industry and serves as a link between China and the world. The society was an early signatory to the International Measurement Confederation in 1995 and has collaborated with other global organizations, including the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the American Society of Measurement and Control, and the Agena Measurement and Control Technology Center.
The China Instrument and Meter Society is committed to supporting the China instrument and meter industry and working closely with professionals, teachers, students, and organizations worldwide to promote the development of the industry. The society is well poised to further the application of instrumentation, meters and control products, while targeting to make Chinese instruments, meters and control products competitive in the global market.
