As the first product of the digital transformation process at the Directorate for Standards, Metrology and Quality (STAMEQ), the digital map of standards, metrology and quality activities (iSTAMEQ map) combines the use of Google’s map platform and data in the system of organizations and units operating in the standards, metrology and quality industry.
