Objectives of APMPObjectives of APMP
1. To develop and maintain collaborative networks that allow members to share strategic initiatives for informing stakeholders and improving regional measurement policies and investment decisions.
2. To improve the capabilities and effectiveness of member NMIs, particularly in developing economies, through awareness raising, training and coordination of aid donors.
3. To improve the provision of traceability to all users within economies.
4. To ensure that all NMI standards in the region are traceable to the SI.
5. To support scientific collaboration on measurements for new technologies. and to contribute to the ongoing development of the SI through the Metre Convention.

Regional comparisons
CCTF‐K001.UTC is the only key comparison for time and frequency, and all Member States participate in this key comparison.
RMOs can also run regional comparisons for time and frequency, which assists non‐Member States to link to the SI.
Supplementary comparisons are needed to establish the internal delay of time transfer equipment (e.g. GPS receiver calibrations). These are also run within regions (CCTF 2009 Recommendation 2), which assists Member States to reduce transfer uncertainty (uB ) when linking their UTC(k) to UTC.

SIM regional comparisons
SIM Time Network (SIMTN) with 19 NMIs
SIM GPS monitoring systems send data to regional servers for automatic comparison
Future plans to extend to CGGTTS‐format data for transfer

APMP calibration campaigns
Round 1 (Jan 04–) OP, TL, NICT, NMIJ, SPRING, NMIA
Round 2 (Jan 05–) TL, NIM, KRISS, SCL, MSL, NIST, NMIA
Round 3 (Aug 05–) KIM‐LIPI, NIMT, SIRIM, OP, NPLI, VMI, ITDI, NMIA + CSIR/NML
OP, Paris NIST, USA
NML, SA Dual‐frequency geodetic receiver and antenna circulated among NMIs
Travelling receiver delay known from comparison to calibrated receivers (OP, NIST)
Helps underpin bilateral and regional comaprisons and contributions to UTC

Regional workshops and seminars
Asia‐Pacific Workshop on Time and Frequency held every 2–3 yearsATF2010 held jointly with the AP‐RASC'10 meeting in Toyama, JapanATF2013 to be held jointly with the AP‐RASC'13 meeting in Taipei
These meetings are an opportunity for APMP members to present recent research, provide status updates, and build collaborations
APMP Time and Frequency SeminarHeld immediately before the 2007 APMP meetings in Sydney, Australia
APMP members shared their experience in operating time and frequency laboratories and calibration services. Funding agencies provided support to allow more member NMIs to attend.

Summary
Regional metrology organizations bring their members together to provide support, improve capability, and encourage collaboration
Regional workshops and seminars allow members to present research, and share experience of all aspects of operating a time and frequency metrology laboratory
Regional metrology organizations can deliver training, and coordinate funding to assist members NMIs to attend
Regional comparisons extend traceability to more NMIs and calibrate receiver internal delays
Your regional metrology organization is a resource to help you!
