Improving the Metrological Base of Physicochemical and Electrochemical Measurements

Metrology is the basis for the quality of products and processes, since measurement results serve as the source of many decisions made. It plays a key role in the development of scientific and technological progress, in the design and efficient production of products in accordance with customer needs, and in the process of detecting and preventing nonconformities.

Metrology fundamentally supports public health, safety and environmental protection, food production and fair trial. A certain role in the overall metrological infrastructure of the country belongs to metrological institutes. Their goals and objectives involve carrying out activities in the interests of society. VNIIFTRI is the State Scientific Metrological Institute of the Russian Federation. One of the activity areas of VNIIFTRI is physical and chemical types of measurements, assigned to the corresponding Research Department –  NIO-6, which occupies a worthy place in the implementation of assigned tasks.

This work describes the achievements of NIO-6 over the past two years: from mid-2021 to the first half of 2023 inclusive, aimed at ensuring uniformity in the country in the field of physicochemical measurements, including measurements of particle parameters and measurements in electrochemistry.
