The Conference was attended by scientists, researchers, lecturers, graduate students, specialists from research and metrological institutes, regional metrology centres, enterprises, and organizations of the industrial sector (a total of 117 representatives of all 13 federal districts of the Russian Federation). In addition, the Conference was attended by foreign specialists – representatives of national metrology bodies, national metrological institutes, members of ISO/REMCO and CITAC, metrologists from Switzerland, Great Britain, Israel, India, Brazil, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan.

Within the framework of the Conference, four special scientific sections held their meetings: “Normative legal regulation in the field of reference materials. General issues”; “Reference materials and medicine”; “Standard of living”; “Development of new reference materials, including physical properties and their application.” 53 scientific reports were presented at them, as well as at the plenary and poster sections. These reports reflected the interdisciplinary nature of the theory and practice of development, production, distribution, and application of reference materials.

“In keeping with the long-term tradition, the organizers, in my opinion, managed to hold the Conference at a high level in this difficult year. The active involvement of specialists in the Conference, both offline and online, confirms the relevance of the discussed issues. I would like to note the special interest shown in the topics of metrological assurance of measurements in the field of medicine, quality control, and food safety. The main result of the Conference is an extensive discussion of the theory and practice of development, production, distribution, and application of reference materials”, said Egor Sobina, Acting Director of UNIIM–Affiliated Branch of the D.I. Mendeleyev Institute for Metrology (VNIIM-UNIIM).

As a result of the Conference, the publication of the collection “Reference Materials in Measurement and Technology 2020” was planned. The collection has been prepared for publication by Springer. The collection of conference abstracts in Russian and English has been released.
