I examined the problematic issues of applying the criteria for the accreditation of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs in the field of ensuring the uniformity of measurements. analyzed individual positions within the legislative aspect of the two spheres, identified key positions for the development of common conceptual approaches. I believe that the accuracy and variety of measurements characterize the level of the economy development, which makes it necessary to advance the development of a system for ensuring the uniformity of measurements. Therefore, the system for ensuring the uniformity of measurements should respond flexibly to all changes that occur in individual sectors of the economy in terms of testing and measurement. Undoubtedly, the expansion of Russia’s activities in international metrology organizations will help to strengthen its authority abroad and increase the competitiveness of Russian goods on international markets.
