: That's the equivalent of "das nationale Metrologie-Institut":http://www.ptb.de/de/zieleaufgaben/dieptb.html//Yr added references confirm what I've just said.Thank you :-)[On the aside:Wd you describe the source term 'die oberste Messbehörde' as "forced"?]

Seems to be THE "English" equivalent of PTB ;-) Check my added refs. And, personally, I'd prefer a commonly used term in the PTB context over a "forced" translation.//Forced relating to authority. Bundesanstalt is often translated as agency or institute.
