New Standards Laboratories Organization A new organization, t h e National Conference of S t a n d a r d s Laboratories ( N C S L ) , has been established to help meet needs of science and industry for improved uniformity and greater p r e cision in calibration and measure m e n t s in all areas of physical sciences, engineering, and technology. Membership consists of representa tives of organizations concerned \vith standards activities in Government, industry, education, and professional societies. Major activities will consist of a con tinuing series of standards laboratory conferences and establishment of a voluntary system of measurement agreement checks to demonstrate com petence and continued uniformity among s t a n d a r d s laboratories. The first conference will be held in August 1962 a t t h e Boulder (Colo.) L a b o r a tories of the National Bureau of Standards. Objectives of N C S L are to deter mine t h e requirements of science and industry for greater precision in meas u r e m e n t ; increase the over-all com petence of standards laboratories by the development of uniform practices relating to organization, staffing, and operation; and provide o p p o r t u n i t y for voluntary participation in meas urement agreement operations to demonstrate competence and continued uniformity among standards labora tories. N C S L will work with other organi zations with related objectives. H e a d of the general committee is Lloyd B .
