Research program was intended from the beginning for direct application of results in Slovenia to the field of metrology, where ten years ago the country was far behind compared to the European Union. In the process of technical harmonisation and quality, as basic elements of production and collaboration in the international market, it was important to develop metrological activities to support the development of new products and services. Program group in the frame of research program has established scientific and research activities on such level that covers 99 % of all current needs in the field of thermometry in Slovenia. Besides direct industrial application, the results of research are useful also for other research groups, which use similar solutions in measurement of other physical quantities. For Slovenia it is especially important that knowledge in the research is transfered to education. The establishment of a new education program "Quality Engineering" in the frame of study of electrical engineering would be imposible without solid scientific ground. In the field of basic metrology the concept of a national metrological system was established. It comprises all elements according to the requirements of international system of measures and weights, described in the Meter Convention, which requires basic theoretical knowledge of metrology. In the field of thermometry FE-LMK is the most important research organisation. It is important as the holder of national standard for thermodynamic temperature and assurance of traceability of temperature measurements to the international level, as well as for dissemination of temperature to lower levels in Slovenia. In certain applications it was shown that knowledge transfer from FE-LMK was successful in implementation of measurement equipment in different production organisations in Slovenia. Very important was design of special measurement equipment, which was as Slovenian product completely replaced expensive foreign equipment. FE-LMK in cooperation with Slovenian research and development organisations actively develops expert knowledge in the broad spectrum of metrology activities. These activities are especially important in obtaining accreditation for laboratories, for which FE-LMK transfers knowledge and experiences through seminars, workshops and research in joint projects. In the development of technical quality the most important is assurance of testing procedures according to the requirements, which are given in the international standards for the field of electrical safety or EU directives. FE-LMK actively participates in development of new knowledge in the field of measurement and testing, which is one of the basic requirements for conformity assessment in the frame of free movement of products and services.
