Abstract

The UK’s National Measurement System (NMS), delivered through its network of laboratories, provides the infrastructure required for accurate, traceable and internationally recognised measurement. This foundation underpins trade, regulation, productivity and innovation across the economy. This study consolidates the evidence on the impact of the NMS programme, structured around two economic channels: Delivering the Measurement Infrastructure and Enabling Technological Change (Innovation Benefits).
