FSUE VNIIFTRI is the state scientific centre of Russia, the main metrological centre of State service of time, frequency and determination of Earth features;t the structural part of VNIIFTRI - Institute of time and space - provides methodological maintenance of State service.

According to the Law on assurance of measurement uniformity, VNIIFTRI conducts research in the following fields of measurements:

- time and frequency, big lengths, determining of characteristics of Earth rotation;

- radio-technical and and magnetic quantities;

- ionizing radiation characteristics and radiation;

- acoustic, hydro-acoustic, hydro-physical and seismic features;

- temperature and thermal physic features in the field of low temperatures;

- electrochemical quantitites (pH-metry, ionometry, conductometry) and features of aerosol;

- acousto-optical and acousto-electronic devices;

- hardness of materials and high pressures;

- features of construction and construction materials.

VNIIFTRI developes, produces, researches, certifies, and improves state primary and secondary measuring standards, high-precision equipment, measuring systems, instruments of control and automatization; provides metrological equipment on request.

VNIIFTRI maintain 38 state measuring standards (19 are secondary), 22 installations of high precision, over 120 working measuring standards and verification plants.

VNIIFTRI conducts state testings of measuring instruments for type approval, certification, verification and calibration of measuring equipment, certification of products for safety and  electromagnetic compatibility, permissibility, in acoustic and radiation terms, elaboration of state measuring standards and documents in the field of metrology and metrological assurance, certification of reference materials.

VNIIFTRI has the following below mentioned branches:
