We know that metric spaces are normal. We also know that a uniform space is Hausdorff if the intersection of all entourages is the diagonal, in which case it is even regular.

However, is there a necessary and sufficient criterion to ensure that a uniform space is normal (A sufficient condition would be, for example, the space is metrizable)? I have read Bourbaki, General Topology as well as Willard, General topology, but I was not able to find any.

Thanks in advance.

    Interesting question, I think. You might be aware that uniform spacs also have a cover reformulation, and normality does have a cover equivalent (point finite covers are shrinkable). This might be the way to go, I'm not sure. I at least never heard of such a charcterisation, but then again, I'm no expert on uniform spaces. – 2017-02-19
