Laboratory of the National Time and Frequency Standard

Team focus

The laboratory operates the National standard time and its frequency, i.e. creates an approximation of the physical units of time, seconds, and it implements the national time scale UTC (TP), which is involved in the creation of Co-ordinated Time UTC in collaboration with the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) . The laboratory provides and ensures metrological traceability on the level of national standards and it also provides services (calibration, expert services) on the highest metrological level in the Czech Republic for the needs of industries and other entities, such as calibration laboratories.
