The National Physical Laboratory celebrates the strength of UK measurement through national awards

The UK's highest industrial and academic achievers in the field of metrology (the science of measurement) were honoured last week at the Metrology for World-Class Manufacturing Awards 2001.

Accurate measurement contributes around £6.5 billion pounds to the UK economy and is one of the key technologies for manufacturing.

These important awards reflect the entire metrology application process, from laboratory to factory floor, and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has been a main sponsor since 1995.
