Abstract: This paper examines the development of the metrology infrastructure of a typical small or newly developing European country and the factors which have influenced that development. In terms of metrology, all countries have equal aspirations perhaps the most important is to provide metrology support to its industry whereby ensuring the traceability of results and enabling competitiveness on the international market. In this paper the experiences of the Republic of Croatia will be used to illustrate the situation. Establishing a metrology infrastructure anywhere is an expensive project, but to do it in a small country which - due to the impact of political changes and the disintegration of the former state - is starting from the beginning, is a major technical, political and economic challenge. It is the intent of the Republic of Croatia to become an EU member in order to equally participate in the common European and other markets. To accomplish this it is necessary to institute the appropriate technical infrastructure as well as to apply the already existing confidence building measures. Changes in metrology have for sure been influenced by international pressure to lower technical barrier to trade, primarily via harmonizing technical regulations and decreasing the metrological scope regulated by law.
