Abstract: The act establishing the US National Bureau of Standards (NBS) lists as a principal function to undertake The custody, maintenance, and development of the national standards of measurement and the provision of means and methods for making measurements consis tent with those s tandards.. . .I For many common measurements, calibration labora tories can achieve traceability to national standards by utilizing measurement services provided by NBS. High-level calibration laboratories typically provide calibrations for lower level laboratories in a hierarchical fashion so that measurements at the working level can ultimately be related to national standards. Measurement inconsistencies may develop where national measurement standards do not exist or where measurement services are unavailabLe from NBS. This paper outlines from NBS perspective the nature of the resulting problems and discusses how they may be resolved.
