Abstract: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is expanding into a new frontier in the delivery of measurement services. The Internet will be employed to provide industry with electronic traceability to national standards. This is a radical departure from the traditional modes of traceability and presents many new challenges. The traditional mail-based calibration service relies on sending artifacts to the user, who then mails them back to NIST for evaluation. The new service will deliver calibration results to the industry customer ondemand, in real-time, at a lower cost. The calibration results can be incorporated rapidly into the production process to ensure the highest quality manufacturing. The service would provide the U.S. radiation processing industry with a direct link to the NIST calibration facilities and its expertise, and provides an interactive feedback process between industrial processing and the national measurement standard. Moreover, an Internet calibration system offers global measurement harmonization that will remove measurement-related trade barriers.
