Area of Science:

  • Metrology and Standards
  • National Measurement Infrastructure

Background:

  • The National Bureau of Standards (NBS), established early last century, held national responsibilities for measurement assistance and services.
  • These responsibilities are now managed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Office of Measurement Services (OMS).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the evolution and current structure of NIST's measurement services.
  • To provide a historical perspective on pivotal measurement developments.
  • To project future directions for NIST measurement services.

Main Methods:

  • Historical review of measurement services and organizational changes.
  • Analysis of the four constituent programs of the Office of Measurement Services.
  • Examination of NIST's role in disseminating measurement products, data, and services.

Main Results:

  • The Office of Measurement Services (OMS) comprises four programs: Calibration Program (CP), Standard Reference Materials Program (SRMP), Standard Reference Data Program (SRDP), and Weights and Measures Program (W&MP).
  • OMS facilitates access to NIST's measurement and standards activities.
  • The study presents a historical overview, current status, and future outlook for each program.

Conclusions:

  • NIST's Office of Measurement Services is the modern continuation of NBS's foundational measurement support.
  • The four OMS programs are crucial for disseminating NIST's expertise and resources.
  • The future of NIST measurement services is positioned for continued innovation and support in the new millennium.
