Legislative MandateLegislative Mandate

Section 3A Public Entity Measurement Units and

Measurement Standards Act, No 18 of 2006 (The Measurement Act)

To provide for the use of measurement units of the International System of Units (SI) and certain other

measurement units

To provide South African industry, environmental, health and safety sectors with fit-for-purpose

measurement standards and measurements. This is achieved by keeping and maintaining the national

measurement standards and units to an acceptable international standard and by disseminating traceability

to the South African industry

Summarised Role of the NMISA• Keep and Maintain the National Measurement Standards

• Links the National (and Regional) measurement System to the International System.

• Conduct Research for Development of Measurement Standards

• Provide Training for Testing, calibration, measurement in research, etc.

• Provide link to international measurement system for SADC and sub-Saharan Africa;

• Support SMME development by providing measurement interventions

NMISA Products and Services

International and Regional International and Regional EnvironmentEnvironment

NMISA plays a key role in the establishment of measurement traceability and the international

equivalence there-of, sitting at the interface between the national and international systems.

The expanding global trade and pressure to eliminate technical barriers to trade (TBTs) creates a constant demand for greater accountability and

demonstrated competence in NMIsNMISA plays a leading role in the

development of metrology infrastructure in Africa, especially in support of South

Africa’s immediate neighbours in SADC. A sound measurement structure is critical to the successful implementation of regional free trade agreements and elimination of

TBTs
