Supporting the national effort
NPL is the UK's national laboratory for measurement science and metrology. We provide the measurement standards for science, technology and manufacturing and throughout the pandemic have applied our expertise to meet the unprecedented challenge COVID-19.
As a national laboratory who has thousands of customers in the UK and beyond, it was a natural progression to offer our experience of standards, testing and product requirements. We made our facilities available to support UK industry and society, including working with NHS trusts on ventilator provision, oxygen supply and data processing. The current global pandemic reminds us of the vital role that metrology plays in supporting global measurement systems and helping society function.
Agile and innovative
NPL’s depth and breadth of experience helped verify and validate performance of materials, instruments and sensors, and our state-of-the-art equipment was used to make prototypes and new products. As UK industry now turns its attention to recovery, we can provide confidence to companies tackling the problems created by new working practices, supply chain changes and product modifications which can impact compliance.
Our research expertise allows us to advise and inform government, companies and research organisations on a wide range of topics, and our extensive professional networks can link organisations with specialist suppliers to meet manufacturing challenges.
