Standardization and Metrology Employees Day is observed in Kyrgyzstan every October 24. This professional day was established by a governmental decree on October 1, 1996, to commemorate the founding anniversary of national standardization and metrology in 1927. The main authority in this field is the National Institute for Standards and Metrology of the Kyrgyz Republic, known as "Kyrgyzstandard." While it is not a public holiday, employees in the field of standardization and metrology celebrate by organizing small festive parties and congratulating each other. There are typically no official events or ceremonies organized by the government, leaving it to the employees to mark the occasion in their own way.
