National Physical Laboratory-led programme to boost competitiveness and resilience

摘要

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and its partner National Measurement Laboratories - NML at LGC, the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC), TUEV-NEL and the National Gear Metrology Laboratory (NGML) - are committed to supporting the UK government's plans for economic recovery by providing specialist measurement advice and short-term projects to companies at no charge. NPL's leadership of the Measurement for Recovery (M4R) programme is just one of the many ways in which it is supporting the national effort and responding to the COVID-19 crisis. World-leading measurement solutions are critical to business and government, accelerating research and innovation, improving quality of life and enabling trade. The Measurement for Recovery programme helps to solve analysis or measurement issues that cannot be resolved using standard technologies and techniques. The aim is to help boost resilience and competitiveness by bringing together the UK's top scientists and facilities with companies to address problems in innovative ways. The specialist services can provide measurement and analysis expertise, investigate the feasibility of concepts and validate products and processes, support new products and services that will directly help the national response to COVID-19, help cost reduction or improve productivity, increase product reliability and mitigate in-service costs and offer advice on standards and regulatory needs.
