Abstract:	The Space-Time Standards Laboratory at the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) actively promotes the researches for generating, measuring, and supplying the precise time and frequency standards. For example, Cs primary frequency standards, optical clocks, and precise transfer techniques using optical fiber and satellites have been developed. New approaches such as advanced optical clocks, THz standard, highly precise satellite-link techniques, and VLBI time and frequency transfer have also begun. In addition, generation and services of Japan Standard Time have been keeping the high quality during its long time operation period. An overview of these activities is presented in this paper.
