Every year, DFM develops new and improved services, based on DFM’s research in the areas of fundamental metrology that are of particular importance to companies. Furthermore, Danish companies are ensured access to traceable measurements and reference materials through the establishment and maintenance of national primary and reference standards. In its daily focus, DFM focuses on collaboration with laboratories, industry and authorities and contributes to ensuring the quality and mutual recognition of measurements with Denmark’s international trading partners.

As a National Metrology Institute, our primary activities consist of:

• Construction and maintenance of the Danish metrological infrastructure by realizing and disseminating traceability at the highest level.
• Participation in the global metrology collaboration, e.g. in the development and utilization of the global SI unit system through research collaboration and knowledge exchange.
• Development of measurement competencies of special importance for Danish companies and Danish authorities.
• Participation in research projects in close collaboration with Danish universities and Danish industry.
