Metrology

Metrology covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of measurements and can be divided into general metrology (electromagnetic, mechanical, chemical metrology), industrial metrology focused on measurements in production and quality control (calibration procedures and calibration intervals, control of measurement processes and management of measuring equipment). Legal metrology relates to mandatory technical requirements that ensure correct measurements in terms of protection of the consumer.

Metrology provides the technical means to ensure correct measurements by the implementation of a harmonised system of measurement which comprises the International System of Units (SI), accurate measuring instruments complying with international standards, and validated methods and procedures.
The Unit has three sub-units:

Industrial Metrology
Legal Metrology or Weights and Measures
Mechanical Workshop
