TASKS
Main tasks of the Centre of Chemistry are focussed on the metrology assurance of physico-chemical quantities having extensive use in practice - amount of substance and associated quantities, pH, electrolytic conductivity, transmittance. In connection with this aim in the Centre are performed:
- maintainance and development of particular standards - amount of substance, mole fraction in gas phase, air humidity, pH, electrolytic conductivity and spectral transmittance;
- production and distribution of particular CRMs (calibrated by mentioned standards), used for a traceability assurance of measuring instruments in practice.

Measurement standards available at the Centre. Click for details!

In addition to production of above mentioned CRM for calibration purposes another CRMs have been prepared.

Another services performed for consumers present type approval and verification of motor vehicle exhaust gas analysers and breath analysers, calibration of hygrometers, conductometers, optical filters and spectral cells for UV-VIS spectrometry and electrolytic conductivity cells. The Chemistry Centre personnel also ensures education of metrologists, elaborates expert judgements and gives consultancies in the mentioned fields.
