”Electromagnetic, Time and Frequency Measurements” Laboratory


The ”Electromagnetic, Time and Frequency Measurements” laboratory manages – undertakes, preserves and disseminates through modern equipment the measurement units of: electric current, voltage, resistance, power, capacitance, frequency, time.

Main objectives of the laboratory are:

  • Assurance of uniformity, accuracy and traceability of measurements on the territory of the Republic of Moldova.
  • Management, maintenance, storage, preservance of measurement standards and of the equipment owned by the laboratory.
  • Participation in international interlaboratory comparisons to demonstrate the equivallence of the measurement unit realized in the Republic of Moldova and the one preserved by international measurement standards.
  • Dissemination of the measurement unit by development of calibration procedures based on best international practices.
