For distinguished service to science and engineering, particularly to metrology, measurement standards and research, and to professional organisations.

Between 1994 and 2004, Inglis was the Director of the CSIRO’s National Measurement Laboratory, and when that was made into its own independent body, the National Measurement Institute, he was appointed Inaugural CEO and Chief Metrologist.

Today, the Australian measurement community’s highest honour is the eponymous Barry Inglis Medal.
