	The Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) is the German National Metrology Institute and responsible for the realization and dissemination of the legal units in Germany. For the realization of the radiometric units in the VUV and X-ray spectral range PTB has been using calculable synchrotron radiation of bending magnets from the BESSY I and BESSY II electron storage rings for more than 20 years. The spectral photon flux of synchrotron radiation can be precisely calculated by Schwinger's theory. Therefore, all the storage ring parameters entering the Schwinger equation have to be measured with low uncertainty which requires a stable and reproducible operation of the storage ring. At BESSY II, PTB has installed all equipment necessary to measure the electron energy, the electron beam current, the effective vertical source size and the magnet induction at the radiation source point as well as all geometrical quantities with low uncertainty. The measurement accuracy for these quantities enables PTB to calculate the spectral photon flux from the visible up to the soft X-ray range with relative uncertainties below 0.4 %. We report on the measurement of the storage ring parameters with low uncertainty.

	PTB, the German National Metrology Institute, has gained approval for the construction of a low-energy electron storage ring in the close vicinity of BESSY II, where PTB operates a laboratory for X-ray radiometry. The new storage ring, named 'Metrology Light Source MLS' will be dedicated to metrology and technology development in the UV and EUV spectral range and so will fill the gap that is present since the shut down of BESSY I. The MLS is designed in close cooperation with BESSY and is located adjacent to the BESSY II facility. Construction will start 2004 and user operation is scheduled to begin in 2008. The MLS has a circumference of 48 m, injection will be from a 100 MeV microtron. The electrons energy is ramped to an eligible value in the range from 200 MeV to 600 MeV. The MLS will be equipped with all the instrumentation necessary to measure the storage ring parameters needed for the calculation of the spectral photon flux according to the Schwinger theory with low uncertainty, enabling PTB to operate the MLS as a primary source standard. Moreover, provision is taken to operated the MLS in a low alpha mode for the production of coherent synchrotron radiation in the far IR and THz region.
