Washington Labs Hosts
NIST Field Visit

NIST Field Visit

The Standards Services Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology were welcomed by Mike Violette and Steve Ferguson of Washington Labs. The group, led by Gordon Gillerman, were provided an overview of laboratory operations and the use of standards in everyday testing.

more... arrow

The Standards Services Division conducts standards-related programs and provides knowledge and services that will strengthen the U.S. economy, to ensure recognition and use of U.S. standards domestically and in the global marketplace; promote worldwide acceptance of U.S. test and calibration data to facilitate the marketing of U.S. products; and provide assistance to industry, trade associations, and exporters through its operations, training and information programs.

There are many dynamic areas of standards-setting in the area of technology products, software, homeland security and related disciplines in modern American life. Mike Violette provided a little "look under the hood" at some of the domestic and international activities.
