Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Measurement Assurance Programs, Vol. 1: General Introduction
This two-part guide has been written in response to numerous inquiries concerning the use of Measurement Assurance Program (map) Services offered in conjunction with the Calibration Services of the National Bureau of Standards. Map Services differ from the usual Calibration Services because they focus on the quality of measurements being made by the participant rather than just the properties of the participant's instruments or standards. The services are offered as an adjunct to the user's own measurement control programs and are designed to help a laboratory quantify the uncertainty of its measurements relative to national standards. Map services represent a new approach to calibra tion and this publication presents the rationale for their use.
