The paper describes the State Service for Time and Frequency of the Russian Federation. The paper starts with brief historical information. Then the modern legal status and organizational structure of the State Service are described. Because the measurement abilities and accuracy level of the State Service are defined on the basis of standards, the paper contains a traceability chart, the composition, and the performance of the State Standard for Time and Frequency and the network of secondary laboratories spreading from Moscow to Petropavlovsk- Kamchatsky in the Kamchatka peninsula. Taking into account qualified personnel, high performance, and a very advantageous geographical location, today the knowledge and instrumentation of the State Service are involved in many state programs requiring precise time and coordinates support, as well as in traditional activities.
