We are seeking for unified local measurements that are accepted internationally.

We maintain the national measurement standards and assure its traceability to international standards. We also provide highly accurate metrological services, which are accepted locally and internationally to all scientific, industrial, economic, health and legal sectors in order to make effective contributions supporting the national economy, maintaining safety, well-being and the environment and protecting citizens' rights – the ultimate goal being the achievement of a better quality of life. These tasks are accomplished through implementing new updated systems complying with international good practices in metrology and by providing, developing and motivating human resources and know-how.
