The electrical and electronics standards division of NPLI is involved in the realization, establishment, maintenance and dissemination of SI unit (Si), primary standard, and national standards of various electrical, electronic and magnetic parameters. Traceability of these standards is provided to industries, accredidated laboratories, R& D institutes and various other organizations. Recently the division has established the automatic Josephson voltage standards at 10 volt level at par to international level for the dissemination of unit ‘volt’. A new power calibration system for calibration of high precision reference power standards and watt converters has been established.

The division has participated in many international intercomaprison organized by BIPM, APMP and bilateral comparison to establish international traceability. Also it has coordinated various proficiency testing programme under MoU between NPL and NABL.
