2023 B. Stephen Carpenter Award

Mr. Richter is recognized for his leadership in legal metrology through numerous international standards bodies to develop a consistent measurement instrumentation framework used in the billion-dollar-per-day global trade of key industrial commodities. Since 2000, he has served on and convened many technical committees to develop model national metrology systems that both elevate emerging economies and connect to the U.S. weights and measures system. Mr. Richter's significant success in coordinating, leading, and delivering international standards and legal metrology infrastructure for a range of measurement systems for essential products (water, liquid foods, and fuel) serves as the basis of fair and equitable trade in the global marketplace.
