Metrology

Main objective of metrological supervision over Instrumentation and Controls (I&C) is to provide a single, reliable, and accurate measurement in the country, as well as their maintenance in permanent readiness and serviceability.

Responsibility for status of instrumentation and controls, correct representation of readings, efficiency and quality of departmental metrological supervision is primarily laid upon heads of enterprises, organizations, and institutions.
