World-wide control of industrial radio-electronic measurement accuracy

Economic expansion of industrial countries is dependent upon production and export of well-qualified and reliable products. National industrial controls, through a single unified Measurements System, establish compatibility of an export-nation's products with an import-nation's requirements as well as supplying internal national needs A survey was conducted in 1966 to determine the extent to which certain selected nations have established legal measurement systems. For comparison purposes, the measurement system maintained in the United States is briefly outlined and a presentation is made of the measurement capabilities of several industrial measurement laboratories taking part in an audit conducted by the National Conference of Standards Laboratories in 1964-1966.
