Type Evaluation Laboratory Quality Manual Template. Developed for U.S. Type Evaluation Laboratories

摘要

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Weights and Measures Division (WMD) works with State weights and measures (W&M) programs and other federal agencies to promote uniformity in the U.S. commercial W&M system. Some State W&M programs and federal agencies maintain and operate type evaluation laboratories. These laboratories perform evaluations of commercial weighing and measuring devices to ensure their conformance to national and international standards. U.S. type evaluation laboratories must establish, implement, maintain and document their laboratory quality system. As part of its technical support to the U.S. commercial W&M system, NIST WMD created this quality manual template to assist type evaluation laboratories in documenting their quality systems. This template is specifically designed for type evaluation testing laboratories.
