Guidelines for NIST Staff Participating in Documentary Standards Developing Organizations' Activities.

摘要

Standards have been an integral part of the mission of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) since its establishment (as the National Bureau of Standards) in the early 1900s. As part of its mission, NIST works with two types of standards, fundamental measurement standards, or physical standards, such as those for mass, length and time; and documentary standards that specify characteristics of products, processes and testing. These Guidelines are relevant to documentary standards development. They provide a brief overview of the U.S. documentary standards process, followed by detailed guidance and resources available for NIST staff on their participation in the process.
