This memorandum identifies those State laboratories that do not have a current Certificate of Measurement Traceability. Laboratories identified here have not submitted annual materials described on page 19 of Handbook 143. Annual reports are to be submitted to NIST between October 1 and November 15 each year. Additional technical information was requested from laboratories in August 1997 to enable OWM to evaluate laboratory accuracy and traceability for mass and volume prior to issuing each laboratory a certificate claiming measurement traceability. The following State laboratories DID NOT submit annual reports or the additional technical information for 2000.
Explanatory information is provided where available.
Also, per section 3.9.9, NIST Office of Weights and Measures reserves the right to notify State and Federal agencies as well as any indigenous industry of a State regarding recognition status. NIST will review reports as soon as possible based on need and resources, when they are submitted late.
