We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "NPL (National Physical Laboratory)",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Air/gas testing and monitoring exhibition from
MCERTS Exhibition, which we summarised at the time by saying "The MCERTS 2007 conference, workshop and exhibition examined the latest developments in legislation, standards and monitoring technologies in the field of air/gas testing and
monitoring".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release EMF radiation safety calibration service from
National Physical Laboratory: "The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has launched a calibration service to help UK businesses comply with the EMF radiation safety directive".
In February 2007, we covered the news from GTMA
- take a look at Metrology initiatives planned by association
which says: "The GTMA has announced a series of initiatives planned for the metrology section of its membership".
Take a look also at the news release from GTMA, UK's GTMA and PMMMA associations merge,
as well as Performance resistance thermometry bridges from ASL (division of Hartest Precision Instruments),
and High point for thermometer calibration technology from ASL (division of Hartest Precision Instruments).
