The new initiatives are aimed at creating high-tech laboratories in strategic sectors of the economy, the government said.
As part of its mission, the UAE says it is implementing a portfolio of advanced national projects aimed at enhancing the accuracy, reliability, and global recognition of UAE-based measurement systems.
According to official data, these initiatives focus on establishing high-tech laboratories across strategic sectors of the economy.
Key projects include the mass, volume and flow laboratory to support industrial and commercial measurement systems.
It also includes electricity, time and frequency laboratories to guarantee the precision of measurements in the energy, telecommunications and defence sectors.
The other is the length and angles laboratory to serve construction and precision engineering industries.
According to the data, further facilities in development include laboratories for thermal and humidity measurements supporting environmental and industrial applications.
It also includes the development of a force, pressure and torque laboratory to ensure accuracy in infrastructure, and the oil and gas operations.
According to the source, a feasibility study is also underway to establish a National Chemical Metrology Laboratory that will benefit healthcare, food safety and environmental monitoring. (Tv Brics/NAN)
