The National Measurement System (NMS) is the technical and organisational infrastructure which ensures a consistent and internationally recognised basis for measurement in the UK. It has two central objectives:

  • to enable individuals and organisations in the UK to make measurements competently and accurately and to demonstrate the validity of such measurements; and
  • to co-ordinate the UK's measurement system with the measurement systems of other countries.
