During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, China’s Institute of Metrology launched a pre-study of key technologies and quantitative value transfer systems for new energy, new materials and nanometers, biosafety, environmental measurement, medical measurement and instrumentation. Among them, the two projects of new materials, nano-metering and medical measurement have been approved by experts as the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” National Science and Technology Support Program.

According to the needs of the country's economic and social development, the Chinese Institute of Metrology has made significant progress in aerospace engineering, the Beijing Olympics, the Three Gorges Project, West-East Gas Transmission, energy conservation and emission reduction, food safety, medical and health and forensic science.

The atomic time frequency reference clock developed by the China Academy of Metrology Sciences provides services to the BeiDou satellite navigation and positioning system; the establishment of a high-precision laser two-coordinate standard device breaks the core components required for integrated circuits and liquid crystal display manufacturing. The tracing of the value of the board depends on the situation of the developed countries for a long time, solves the industry difficulties, and fills the domestic gap.

At the same time, the calibration standards and traceability systems for measuring ventilators and infusion pumps established by the China Institute of Metrology have made contributions to the prevention and treatment of influenza A; research and development of water flow measurement and standard equipment for the Three Gorges flowmeters have solved the Three Gorges Project. The power station ultrasonic flowmeter accurately assesses the problem of large-diameter water flow and provides technical support for evaluating the power generation efficiency of the Three Gorges Power Station. The research on the banned substance standard substance in forensic science provides technical support for the accurate determination of cases in the judicial field.

In order to respond to major changes in the international system of units and improve the country’s competitiveness, the China Academy of Metrology Sciences has also carried out the “Research on a new generation of measurement standards based on quantum physics”. These major projects include 10 basic and forward-looking measures. Innovative topics. These topics are of great technical difficulty and high level. For example, atomic clocks, power balances, optical radiation quantum standards, etc., China Institute of Metrology has achieved major technical breakthroughs and phase results.
