Regulatory support
Overview
LGC's Science & Technology Division has a very
strong role in providing UK Government with regulatory support. The
division houses the function of the Government Chemist, a
role which involves acting as an independent and impartial
referee analyst in cases of dispute and advising the UK Government
and the wider analytical community on the analytical chemistry
implications of policy, standards and regulations.
As the National Measurement
Institute for chemical and biochemical measurements, the
division has a vital role in helping to improve the accuracy
and reliability of chemical and bio-measurements that are important
to the UK's industrial competitiveness and quality of life.
