The Metrology Division is the National Metrology Institute of Papua New Guinea. It is an integral part of our country’s National Quality Infrastructure. 

Metrology is the science of measurement and its application. Metrology includes all the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement. Metrology permeates every area of human endeavour and it is virtually impossible to describe anything without referring to the units of measurement. Products are bought by size, weight, and volume; production processes are regulated by measurements; health care relies on measurements; science is totally dependent on metrology – and the list can go on and on.
