The International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) is responsible for ensuring that time standards remain aligned with the Earth's rotation.
Overview
The International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) is responsible for ensuring that time standards remain aligned with the Earth's rotation. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) uses a complex algorithm to calculate time standards, taking into account the variations in the Earth's rotation and the accuracy of the individual clocks. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) plays a crucial role in promoting the use of time standards, and has developed a range of standards and guidelines for its implementation.
