The Role of State Central Laboratory and National Testing Centre in Advancing Technology Studies in the Republic of Estonia

Summary/Abstract: By the beginning of the 20th century, a signi!cant imbalance had emerged in Estonia’s industrial capacity and creative engineering power. While the majority of the manufacturing industry had so far been based in Narva, northeast Estonia, with the Narva falls providing a cheap source of energy, in the given period industry began to appear elsewhere as well, especially in Tallinn.

Estonia was rapidly moving towards becoming an industrial society. Small workshops and big machine-building factories were established.
