National Measurement Institute
Machinery in Ku-ring-gai

Our vision is to yield measurement policy, science and regulation that underpins the economy and well being of Australia. Our mission is to precede and facilitate a measurement system that adapts to, services and enhances the productivity and growth of Australian industries. MI is responsible for maintaining Australia's units and standards of measurement and for realizing those units of measurement through the development and maintenance of standards of measurement, reference materials and reference techniques. MI is now responsible for the full spectrum of measurement, from the apex primary standards of measurement to measurements made at the domestic trade level. Meeting the measurement needs of government, industry and scientific organizations for calibration, measurement, analysis and training are key functions of MI. Research is an urgent segment of MI’s activities, and supports many of its functions. It is an urgent portion of the continuous development of physical, chemical and biological measurement standards and techniques. This continuing development is required to meet advances in science and technology and the increasing demands of industry for greater accuracy in measurement. Governments also require a broader range of measurements to fulfill their regulatory needs in matters such as food safety, the environment and trade. MI operates from a number of sites around Australia and is organized into four main branches: chemical and biological petrology, physical petrology, analytical services and legal petrology.

Trade measurement refers to all transactions in which the price of the commodities or goods is based on measurement of quantity or quality. The primary purpose of a trade measurement system in Australia is to ensure that the pricing of traded goods is based on perfect measurement. Our policy aims are to provide an efficient and effective national trade measurement system across Australia for the community, business and government and to produce confidence in all aspects of trade measurement through a unified, national system. Our objectives are to maintain a high slick of general awareness and transparency in trade measurement transactions to ensure an effective compliance framework and to always improve trade measurement. Certified Reference Materials MI provides certified reference material (CRTs) for chemical, sports, forensic, therapeutic, veterinary, environmental, food, health, gas and nutritional supplement applications. Environmental Testing MI provides a broad range of NATAaccredited analytical services needed by organizations to meet both environmental compliance and commercial requirements. Pharmaceutical Analysis MI is qualified to conduct a expansive range of chemical and microbiological testing including the analysis of metals in pharmaceutical products. We collaborate with government, universities and industry to yield high smooth measurement expertise and input to questions of national and international significance for human health, the economy and the environment. authorization, approval or recognition of meeting a standard. A set of operations that establish, below specified conditions, the relationship between values of quantities indicated by a measuring system, or values represented by a material measure or a reference material, and the corresponding values realized by standards. A standard that is designated or widely acknowledged as having the maximum metro rational qualities and whose value is accepted without reference to other standards of the equivalent quantity. A standard generally having the highest metro level-headed quality available at a given location or in a given organization from which measurements made there are derived. A standard whose value is assigned by comparison with a primary standard of the equivalent quantity. coma is an internet based information service to assist testing and analytical laboratories in finding the certified reference material that they need. Department of Industry, Innovation and Science The Department has a key role in increasing riches for all Australians through industry, innovation, science, research and education. International organization of Legal petrology oil is an intergovernmental treaty organization which promotes the global harmonization of legal petrology procedures. Joint Accreditation System of Australia and Fresh Zealand JASANZ is the government appointed accreditation body for Australia and New Zealand responsible for providing accreditation of conformity assessment bodies in the fields of certification and inspection. MI is responsible for maintaining Australia's units and standards of measurement and for realizing those units of measurement through the development and maintenance of standards of measurement, reference materials and reference techniques.
