We are responsible for the national measurement infrastructure and for maintaining Australia’s primary standards of measurement. NMI is a one-stopshop offering a broad range of capabilities in analytical, biological, chemical, legal and physical measurement disciplines. WHAT WE DO With unique facilities and world-class, measurement capabilities to help our clients meet their current and future measurement needs, NMI conducts in-depth research programs and provides the legal and technical framework for disseminating measurement standards for the Australian economy. Working with industry and government, we provide measurement expertise, calibration services, chemical and biological analyses and pattern approval testing. NMI works to support Australia’s standards and conformance infrastructure. NMI is also responsible for Australia’s trade measurement framework. This ensures both consumers and businesses can have confidence in the accuracy of measurement instruments used for trade: from fuels pumps to weighbridges. INNOVATIVE RESEARCH High-level research and collaborations underpin NMI’s ability to establish and maintain Australia’s highest level, internationally recognised standards and we use the expertise gained to assist manufacturers with their measurement challenges. NMI provides expert measurement consultancy services and training to companies and laboratories seeking to establish new testing capabilities or to increase confidence and reduce risk in their measurements. COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS, SPECIALIST CAPABILITIES Partnerships with other organisations are essential to NMI’s ability to serve Australia’s interests effectively. NMI offers a broad range of scientific and technical capabilities that address all sectors of measurement at the highest levels of precision and integrity. We undertake cutting-edge research to anticipate trends in new measurement technologies. This research is the foundation of our contribution to government priorities such as water management, nanotechnology and climate change. NMI pursues opportunities to provide policy and practical measurement advice to government agencies in order to enhance their application of fit-for-purpose measurements in areas such as the environment, resource management, health, food safety and biosecurity. WHAT WE CAN OFFER THE DEFENCE SECTOR NMI uses our extensive multidisciplinary capabilities to support advanced manufacturers seeking independent performance or compliance assessments, where local testing capabilities are limited. For example, NMI established photo-biological and laser hazard testing and assessment capabilities to support commercial electro-optical system providers in meeting contract requirements. NMI has extensive capabilities for precision dimensional and coordinate measurements, measurements of shock and acceleration, laser and optical systems, acoustics and ultrasound, pressure, temperature, trace moisture and expertise in gas reference mixtures. We specialise in a wide range of analyses including chemical, biological, environmental, food functionality and nutritional testing. Our expertise includes low level vitamin determination, trace environmental analysis and lowlevel DNA measurement. NMI has worked with Defence and Defence suppliers to assist with qualification of military equipment, materials characterisation and environmental management. We maintain critical national infrastructure, for example offering timing and testing services not offered by commercial providers For more information contact: P: 1800 020 076 E: info@measurement.gov.au W: www.measurement.gov.au
