It was a agreement that created to preserve the metric system.
The Treaty of the Meter (also known as the Metre Convention) is a treaty which created three organizations tasked with supervising the keeping of metric standards:

(1) International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM);
(2) General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM);
(3) International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM).

(The initialisms are derived from the French names for the organizations as the treaty was written in French.)

The BIPM is under the authority of the CGPM, and under the supervision of the CIPM.

The treaty was signed in 1875 and slightly revised in 1921. The system of units established by the treaty was later renamed the International System of Units (SI) in 1960.

There were 17 original signatories of the treaty, but this number grew to 52 by the start of 2009.
