The National Measurement System (NMS)

The National Measurement System (NMS) is a framework that ensures measurements across industries are accurate, consistent, and reliable. It involves standards, methods, and calibration practices established by a country to maintain confidence in technical measurements, such as weight, length, temperature, and pressure. By doing so, the NMS supports fair trade, quality products, scientific research, and safety standards. Essentially, it provides a unified system so that measurements are uniform nationwide and internationally, enabling businesses, researchers, and regulators to work with precision and trust in their measurements and data.
