Metrology as the science of measurement has its use in the industrial sector, but the importance of its application in the area of health is highlighted, since, with metrological processes the accuracy and precision of biomedical equipment can be identified; hence the relevance of emphasizing the need to develop regulations in metrology in biomedical equipment by those organizations in the country that ensure the social protection services related to the promotion, protection, and recovery found in standards in each country. To fulfill this in every hospital institution in Colombia institutions must undertake a process of availability, as a minimum requirement to provide quality health services, as established by Decree 2003 of 2014, which makes mandatory calibrating medical equipments; but there is a unique and normative standard which determine an appropriate metrological management in health institutions, so this article aims to present a characterization of metrological management in biomedical equipment based on national and international standards and performing validation care in health institutions, in the framework of the research project Cleaner Production in Medellin's health cluster.
