摘要

Public Law 101-592, 'The Fastener Quality Act,' requires the establishment of anaccreditation program for laboratories that test certain fasteners. The Act provides for the use of National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) procedures followed by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). In accordance with procedures a notice was published in the Federal Register inviting interested parties to provide a list of test methods to be included in the accreditation program. A public workshop was held at NIST in Gaithersburg, MD on April 22, 1991, to discuss the test method list. Part I of the report (NISTIR 4817) summarizes the workshop presentations and the test method categories submitted in response to the notice published in the Federal Register. Part II of the report (NISTIR 4818) contains the appendices: (1) the notice published in the Federal Register; (2) detailed presentations by NIST and response to audience questions; (3) detailed presentations by public participants and response to audience questions; (4) the text of an open discussion session which followed the formal presentations; (5) a compilation of the test method lists; and (6) a list of the workshop presenters and attendees.
