At NIST & rsquo;s request the National Research Council (NRC) carries out a biennial assessment of the seven MSL. The assessment focuses on each laboratory & rsquo;s technical quality and merit; and effectiveness. It also examines the relevance of the NIST programs and how well laboratory facilities, equipment, and personnel are able to fulfill the MSL mission. This report presents an overall assessment of the MSL followed by detailed assessments of each of the seven laboratories.Weights and measuresWeights and measures.607National Research Council (U.S.).Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783771303321An Assessment of the National Institute of Standards and Technology measurement and standards laboratories3671478UNINA
