Continuity of MSL Operations – update 1 September 2025
As you may be aware, Callaghan Innovation is currently being disestablished as part of broader reforms to the science, innovation, and technology system.
MSL is preparing for transfer to the new earth sciences-focused Primary Research Organisation (PRO), which will be formed through the merger of NIWA and GNS Science. Until then, we want to reassure you that MSL continues to operate as usual throughout this transition and remains available to assist with any enquiries you may have about our services. Please contact us here or engage with our staff directly.
The Measurement Standards Laboratory of New Zealand (MSL) is New Zealand's national metrology institute.
MSL has primary responsibility to provide measurement standards in accordance with the International System of Units (SI).
