 Traditional areas of industry

- becoming more complex

- requiring broader measurement ranges and lower uncertainties

 New areas of technology

e.g. nano technology or biotechnology‑

 Areas in which of metrology is increasingly recognised

e.g. chemistry, clinical analysis, food safety

Growing demand for Metrology

NMI budgets stable or even declining
