Institute of Measurement and Control

The Institute of Measurement and Control (InstMC) is a professional members' institution for individuals and companies that operate within the measurement and control theory industries. It was founded in 1944 and incorporated by Royal Charter in 1975. Its aims are to advance the science and practice of measurement and control technologies and their various applications, to foster the exchange of views and the communication of knowledge and ideas in these activities, and to promote the professional qualification and standing of its members. The institute is both a learned society and a professional qualifying body. Instmc is registered with the Engineering Council and is one of the licensed member institutions allowed to register Chartered Engineers (CEng)[2]

The institute is the UK member body of the International Measurement Confederation (IMEKO)[3] and is the secretariat to the United Kingdom Automatic Control Council (UKACC).
