Measurement Standards Laboratory
The Measurement Standards Laboratory of New Zealand (MSL) is New Zealand's national metrology institute. MSL has primary responsibility to provide measurement standards in accordance with the International System of Units (SI). Our scientists realise and maintain the most accurate mass, length, time, electrical, temperature, photometric and radiometric measurements for our nation.
Our activity ranges from the fundamental - for example contributing to the determination of the value of Boltzmann's constant - to the industrially applied - for example supporting the electricity industry to quantify energy delivered during charging of electric vehicles.
Day to day we offer calibration services to over 600 commercial testing and calibration laboratories around New Zealand. They in turn support their customers to gain access to overseas markets, to meet standards, to monitor and control quality, to enforce regulations, to innovate, and to demonstrate performance.
