BRINGING PRECISE MEASUREMENT TO THE WORKPLACE

A. J. Wallard

Abstract

For many years the traditional way of calibrating standards at the highest level was for companies to bring their standards to a National Metrology Institute (NMI). ‘New’ technologies such as the Internet are now changing these long standing techniques as is the existence of commercial ‘quantum based’ standards of high quality. This places new obligations on NMIs to work in new ways and to develop new partnerships to transfer expertise to industrial users.
