Its primary performance target for 1992–93 continues to be the recovery of full economic cost through the charges it makes to customers. In addition, new secondary performance measures have been developed to supersede those agreed when the agency was originally established in 1989. For 1992–93 these are
to recover full economic costs through charges made to customers;to achieve the net contribution to the Department set out in Supply Estimates of £362,000;to win and complete business to the value of £13.6 million;to gain National Measurement Accreditation Service —NAMAS—accreditation for trace inorganic analytical chemistry services and the air quality calibration laboratory.These targets will in future be reviewed annually as part of the corporate planning process.
