Metrology is the science of measurement and its applications; one of his concerns is to obtain reliable measurements through an international framework. Currently, metrology demands the formation of qualified professionals to accomplish the international scheme. This scheme contemplates the ability to develop new measurement methods, to demonstrate the technical competence of assay laboratories, to calibrate instruments, to evaluate personnel performance, to evaluate assay methods, to organize aptitude essays and specially to design, preparation and certification of reference materials using primary methods. This work proposes activity areas related with metrology that the chemist could cope as well as the associated competences with every activity. In this manner, it is proposed a set of knowledge, skills and attitudes related among them that could facilitate the accomplishment of mentioned activity.
