Section 1: Overview, appropriations and budget measures summary
OVERVIEW
The National Standards Commission (NSC) is responsible for furnishing advice to the Minister on matters relating to the administration of the National Measurement Act 1960, and for coordinating the operation of the national measurement system. Its mission is to support commercial transactions and government regulations with a uniform national measurement system, harmonised to international standards.
In carrying out its coordination role, the Commission works in close cooperation with other national technical infrastructure organisations, including the CSIRO National Measurement Laboratory, the Australian Government Analytical Laboratories (AGAL), the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA), Standards Australia, and the Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand (JAS-ANZ). Policies are developed in consultation with sector-based advisory committees and a number of specialist technical committees.
The Commission provides pattern approval and calibration services to industry, in accordance with national and international legal metrology standards. It represents Australia on the International Committee of Legal Metrology and is an active participant in the development and review of international standards and test procedures. It provides the Secretariat for the Asia Pacific Legal Metrology Forum and plays a key role in regional training programs.
The outcome is directly related to the functions of the Commission under the National Measurement Act 1960 and to Australia’s obligations under various international treaties.
APPROPRIATIONS
The total appropriation for the NSC in the 2001-02 Budget is $4.893 million.
Table 1.1, on the following page, shows the total appropriation for the NSC for 2001-02 by the one government outcome. The NSC has no administered appropriations.
