“NIMT aims to become a leading NMI of ASIA providing service innovations to serve country’s needs, to response to public demands, to promote country’s competitiveness at the world stage, and to advocate the enhancement of people’s well-being.”

National Measurement System (NMS) is a primary importance for any industrialized countries since it is a prerequisite for science and technology development and implementation. NMS plays an integral role in assuring the accuracy, consistency, comparability and reliability of measurement results by ensuring that they are traceable to the national measurement standards, and, hence, are traceable to the definitions of the SI units.

Traceable to national measurement standards is also used as a key measure by the international standards, such as ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025, to ensure technical reliability of the quality management system. Hence, NMS is a scientific, economic and social necessity.

Accurate measurement improves productivity and quality; it underpins consumer confidence and trade. NIMT undertakes research to improve its measurement capability and shares this expertise with public organisations, private sectors and society to help enhance economic performance, and the quality of life.

1. Calibration Service: NIMT provides a wide range of calibration services in the fields of dimensional metrology, mechanical metrology, time and frequency metrology, electrical metrology, thermometry, photometry and radiometry, chemical metrology and biometry. NIMT also provides reference materials. The calibration services and reference materials were reviewed by internationally accepted peers, according to international accepted protocols. Most of them are annexed to the Global CIPM-MRA, which is signed by all major industrialised countries and trade partners of Thailand. Thus, calibration certificates provided by MINT for the services are globally and mutually accepted.
2. Training, Workshops & Seminars: NIMT supplies and transfers knowledge and know-how to metrology community both at national and regional levels through its extensive annual training programmes and series of special workshops and seminars. The aim of the trainings and workshops is to provide necessary theoretical and practical knowledge on particular measurement standards and techniques to staff of calibration laboratories and industry sectors.
3. Consulting Services: NIMT provides consultation to industry sector in order to assist them in their implementation of metrological related tools to improve their productivity and product or in their handling of specific measurement systems. Consulting services are also available for calibration laboratories as well.
4. Information Services: NIMT provides information in terms of metrological knowledge, calibration techniques and innovative measurement information in order to raise awareness and visibility of metrology in the public.
