A number of Joint Committees of the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures and other international organizations carry out particular tasks of common interest. The Joint Committee for Guides in Metrology (JCGM) has amongst its tasks the promotion of the 'Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement' (GUM), the preparation of further documents for its broad application, and revision and promotion of the use of the 'International Vocabulary of Basic and General Terms in Metrology'. This paper summarizes the documents relating to the GUM planned by JCGM.
