The Technical Committee on Quality of the Arab Metrology Network (ARAMET) held a virtual meeting on Monday, 25 August 2025, dedicated to discussing the mechanism for reviewing and improving quality systems in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the Republic of Iraq, as part of their efforts to strengthen metrological capabilities.

The meeting was attended by committee members representing the following Arab countries: Jordan, State of Palestine, Iraq, and Egypt, in addition to the Secretariat of the Arab Metrology Network (affiliated with the Arab Industrial Development, Standardization and Mining Organization – AIDSMO).

During the meeting, the Committee reviewed the proposed quality system review mechanism, which included the exchange of evidence and official documents, conducting an initial desk study, followed by potential field visits, and the preparation of formal reports to identify areas for development. Participants also emphasized the importance of enhancing regional cooperation in inter-laboratory comparisons and building the technical capacities of member states.

The meeting concluded with a reaffirmation that the review process will continue to include quality systems in other Arab countries after completing the assessments in Jordan and Iraq.
