Director of JNMI, Fawaz Al Labadi, said that the centre had provided vital calibration services to the medical, pharmaceutical, food and sanitation sectors and laboratories to ensure the maintenance of Jordan’s supply chains throughout the pandemic. JNMI also issued crucial calibration certifications for sanitization gates to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.
JNMI is a largely unknown national hero that works to uphold national standards of measurement, ensure traceability to international standards, and provide highly accurate nationally and internationally recognized metrology and calibration services to the scientific, economic, industrial, health and legal sectors, contributing to the national economy and preserving the rights, health, safety, and environment of citizens.
“To achieve its goals, JNMI builds and implements modern systems consistent with international practices in the field of metrology by providing, developing and stimulating human resources and using highly specialized expertise and know-how,” added Al Labadi.
JNMI is nationally and internationally accredited, and provides services to thousands of companies, institutions and laboratories in the public and private sector, both in Jordan and regionally. It currently issues more than 7,000 calibration certificates every year through 14 specialized laboratories. Many of these are uniquely ranked as national laboratories.
Plans for future expansion include a new state-of-the-art laboratory to measure and calibrate water flow for standardized calibration all water meter testing devices. JNMI will also provide training courses and consultations in the metrology field for regional institutes through its partnership with the German Metrology Institute.
