Fabrication
Besides calibration and testing facilities provided to the customers for maintaining the national traceability chain of measurement, NPL has developed the know-how for fabrication of some items to be used by the customers. The fabricated items are not available of the shelf as the fabrication is done as per customer’s demand and specifications. The customers are therefore requested to get the quotation and make the full payment in advance by Demand Draft in favor of ‘Director, National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi’, payable at New Delhi.
Additional Guidelines for Foreign Customers
1.Charges: The charges available on this website are not applicable for foreign customers. The customers are requested to contact us for calibration/testing charges applicable to them.
2.Payment of Charges: Our charges are given in Indian Rupee and are payable in US Dollar ($) in advance by Bank Demand Draft in English only. The customers are requested to convert the total charges in US Dollar ($) at the prevailing rates at the time of sending the instruments to NPL, New Delhi.
