Tasks of the Laboratory

The laboratory of Time and Frequency is responsible for:

• The realization, through quantum effects, of the electrical units of time and frequency (second and Hertz).
• Calibration of devices producing/measuring time interval and frequency.
• Support and advice in the field of electrical measurements.
• Offering educational seminars in the field of electrical measurements and calibrations.
• Cooperation with European and international metrology organizations, to organize and participate in national and international interlaboratory comparisons for the mutual recognition of the results of the measurements and to represent our country in metrology organizations such as EUROMET and other special committees.

The laboratory environmental conditions are controlled and recorded by a central computerized system. The power supply is supported by a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) system.
