The article examines the evolution of the first fundamental institution in the development of the metrological system in Romania, within the broader context of the emergence of modern metrology at the international level. In the second half of the 19th century, the process of standardization of measurement, formalized through the Metre Convention, created the necessary framework for the unification of measurement units and the development of scientific cooperation among states. Established in 1889, the Central Service for Weights and Measures (SCMG) played a key role in the process of unifying and standardizing measurement units, contributing significantly to the modernization of the economy and to the alignment of national practices with international scientific standards. Throughout its existence, the institution supported technical development, ensured the accuracy of measurements, and strengthened trust in commercial exchanges and industrial activities. The study analyses the context of the establishment of the SCMG in Bucharest, highlighting its mission to ensure the uniformity of measurements and to control measuring instruments used in trade, in connection with Romania’s integration into the international metrological system. The main stages of development and institutional transformations are examined, including the milestone year of 1951, when the responsibilities and role of SCMG were taken over by the Metrology Institute. Thus, the analysis focuses on the impact of these developments on Romanian society, emphasizing the continuity and the role of the institution in the modernization of metrology.
