Our Services
Calibration/Experiment Services
In line with its mission, TÜBİTAK UME meets the industrial calibration/testing and measurement needs of secondary level and other laboratories in our country by using primary level reference measurement standards created by its international level laboratories with advanced infrastructure and expert staff.
Training Services
TÜBİTAK UME is in a continuous development process in carrying its international knowledge and experience to the national platform. One of the most effective parameters in accelerating this process is to determine the expectations and demands of the country's industry and to provide quality trainings to meet these expectations.
Upon the application of companies or organizations in need of training, TÜBİTAK UME organizes programmed or non-programmed trainings upon the request of the organization. These trainings are generally related to the calibrations and measurements performed by the laboratories, but can also be specifically related to calibrations and measurements that are not performed at TÜBİTAK UME but are required by the industry. TÜBİTAK UME laboratories are used in the trainings and "Certificate of Participation" is given at the end of the training.
Consultancy Services
TÜBİTAK UME provides consultancy services on establishing laboratories, creating a quality system, market research, investment planning, environmental conditions required for laboratories, determining the technical specifications of the devices to be used in calibration, training requirements and on-site problem solving.
