ORGANIZATIONS COOPERATING WITH THE NATIONAL

BUREAU OF STANDARDS'

Most of the work of the Bureau of Standards is made effective

through voluntary cooperation of States, municipalities, scientific and professional societies, trade associations, manufacturers, and

individuals who accept the findings of the bureau (often the result

of cooperative research) and incorporate them into a State law, a municipal ordinance, a dimensional standard, or a standard of quality,

performance, or practice.

All such cooperation is encouraged to promote a better understanding between producer and consumer and between industries to the end that industry shall, as far as practicable, be self-regulatory.

Many national organizations assist the bureau directly in research,

standardization, and simplification projects and, in turn, the bureau

cooperates officially with numerous national organizations engaged

in similar effort, frequently designating members of the staff to serve on committees.

The extent of these relationships is shown in the accompanying

list, which gives the cooperating agency and the nature of the cooperative project. This list includes also technical committees on

which the bureau is represented.

Organization supporting research associates at the bureau and

groups constituting the membership of bureau advisory committees

are listed in other publications.
