Operational Units

The Applied Metrology Laboratory (UMA) is integrated in the Scientific Instrumentation Centre / Metrological Quality Unit of LNEC. Established in 1993, it became the first accredited LNEC laboratory in 1995. Since then, its technical competence has been steadily recognized by IPAC as a calibration and testing laboratory, providing metrological support to the activities carried out by LNEC-EM laboratories.

In addition, special reference is made to its experimental support to the R&D&I activities developed by LNEC Departments and its response to the metrological needs of some Society sectors such as the academic and laboratory community, civil construction and public works, as well as the industry and services.
