Brief Description 

Following are four domains of the Centre

This section is actively engaged in In-house Research & Development work on the Deign, Development & fabrication of Scientific Laboratory instruments, in addition to the Equipment Repair & maintenance Services.

The Development work on following laboratory instruments have been accomplished:

Out of this list under mentioned laboratory instruments are commercially produced & supply on consumer's demand.

A). In order to popularize the maximum use of solar energy for reducing the load on depleting conventional energy sources, Research and Development work on the following projects in the field of Renewable Energy is being carried on:

i) Designing, Fabrication and commercialization of Solar Energy Services & Technologies.
ii) Space Heating and cooling of Building by the Application of Solar Energy.

B). The following Solar devices have been designed, Fabricated evaluated and ready for commercialization. These devices of different capacities have been installed at different places in Pakistan, such as Skardu, Quetta, Lahore, Thar (Sind), Cholistan(Punjab), Baluchistan coastal area (Gwadar , and desert border areas(for Pakistan Rangers).

i). Solar water Heater.
ii). Solar Cooker.
iii). Solar Dehydrator.
iv). Solar Still.
v). Space Heating and Cooling of Building etc.

These solar devices will conserve precious conventional energy sources for other critical uses. In other words by the use of these Solar Devices, we can save a considerable portion of foreign exchange spent on the import of oil.

CALIBRATION PROPERTY

1. The precision Calibration Reference Standards (Secondary Standards) are essential requirement of in-House Laboratories facilities. Presently such standard instruments are required by the industry and its import would require a huge foreign exchange. To save the foreign exchange and cut down cost, reference standards of Masses, Length, Volume are made available at PCSIR Laboratories Complex, Lahore.
2. To conduct the training programs related to metrology and calibration activities and to establish a regular training programme on metrology and calibration activities.
3. To provide cost effective and time saving services to the industry.
4. To conduct the Research and Development work for establishing the internationally completed calibration and standardization techniques.
5. To develop the physical apparatus and test jigs for the verifications of different commodities, products and instruments against related standards using preferred test procedures of PSI, Pakistan, BSL, U.K< JIS, Japan, DIN, Germany, SASO, K.S.A and ASTM U.S.A.
6. To enhance the calibration, standardization and physical testing facilities to serve the regional industries.
