Abstract
This self-contained paper characterises those locally convex spaces whose (weakly) precompact (respectively, compact) subsets are metrisable. Applications and examples are provided. Our approach also applies to get Cascales-Orihuela's, Valdivia's and Robertson's metrisation theorems for (pre)compact sets.
