Strategy

Establishment, maintenance and advancement of national primary standards of temperature measurements in accordance with international standards through research and development.

Objectives

Realization, maintain and disseminate the SI base unit of temperature (Kelvin, o K). The laboratory provides calibrations and maintains the traceability of temperature measurements at international level.

Main Activities

Main activitiesof the laboratory are participating inter comparisons in the field of temperature and to assure international traceability, provide calibration service to calibration laboratories, testing laboratories and to industry.

SI Unit

The kelvin, symbol K, is the SI unit of thermodynamic temperature; its magnitude is set by fixing the numerical value of the Boltzmann constant to be equal to exactly 1.380649 × 10-23 J K-1
