The National Measurement Institute (NMI) commenced on 1 July 2004 as part of the Department of Industry, Tourism and Resources. NMI is responsible for establishing and maintaining Australia’s units and standards of measurement and for coordinating Australia’s national measurement system. NMI provides services to industry and research organisations in physical, chemical and biological measurement. It also provides training in measurement science. NMI has been formed from the National Measurement Laboratory (CSIRO), the National Standards Commission and the Australian Government Analytical Laboratories. It continues their work. Dr Barry Inglis has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Metrologist to lead the organisation. Dr Inglis comes from the National Measurement Laboratory where he has been its director since 1997. He has a wealth of professional and personal accomplishments in many fields of metrology and is a vice-president of the International Commitee for Weights and Measures, the governing body of the organisation of the Metre Convention, of which Australia is a long standing party.
