National measurement standards / Central Office of Metrology
Metrosert preserves and develops Estonian national measurement standards and fulfils the duties of the Estonian central office of metrology.
Metrosert ensures the most precise measurements in four measurement areas in Estonia. The quality of many Estonian products and services is based on our measuring capability.
National measurement standards / Central Office of Metrology
Metrosert preserves the Estonian national measurement standards of mass, length, temperature and electric quantities. A national measurement standard is a measurement standard that is recognised by legislation to serve as the measurement standard with the best measurement capability in the country. The national measurement standards of the four measuring areas have been approved by a directive of the Minister of Economic Affairs and Infrastructure, “Approval of National and Reference Measurement Standards” (14 June 2019).
In addition to ensuring measurement capability in these four areas, Metrosert develops the measurement capability of the existing national measurement standards further towards greater precision and more modern measurement methodologies. For this purpose, we cooperate internationally with other European central offices of metrology.
Besides the existing national measurement standards, we develop national measurement standards in new areas in which Estonia currently has no national measurement standards. We are currently developing the national measurement standards of time and frequency, optical quantities and electric power.
