And then you ask yourself, we we like like falls for some of us, we like not even some like everyone would not like to keep on going to the market and they want to preserve their food in their fridges. Are these fridges? Think of the temperatures inside these fridges for them to maintain that food or rather to preserve that. Would you need to maintain them in certain temperatures? So in this measurement of temperature like a a fridge will operate at a certain temperatures. So that is a good example of metrology we offer in metrology and calibration. You're so do trainings. We also do something called interlaboratory comparison, which is very key when it comes to stress, stability of measurement and also when we need accreditation.
