After the meeting the sides are supposed to sign a protocol on amending the agreement on cooperation in ensuring the uniformity of measurements in the armed forces of the states parties to the agreement on pursuing an agreed policy on standardization, metrology, and certification.

According to Andrei Sidorenko, a department head at the Secretariat of the CIS Defense Ministers Council, the changes are necessitated by changes in laws of the said CIS member-states. In addition, the countries have adopted a program for joint metrological support for the armed forces in 2002-2010.
