The Arab Organization for Standardization and Metrology (French: Organisation arabe de normalisation et de métrologie, Spanish: Organización Arabe de Unificación de Normas y Metrologia), also known as Arab Organization for Standardization and Measures, was founded in 1965 as a specialized agency under the Arab League by the Council of Arab Economic Unity.

The organization's functions included offering technical advice to Arab states on systems of weights and measures; providing professional training and research on industrial production quality, metrology, test and inspection methods; and seeking standardization of technical terms and product specifications between member nations. Their first general committee was held on March 25, 1968.[2]

The organization was merged in the 1990s with other organizations to form the Arab Industrial Development and Mining Organization.
