As pa rt of this overview\, we will discuss updates made to NISTIR 7214\, “Qua lity Manual for Proficiency Testing and Interlaboratory Comparisons\,” and NISTIR 7082\, “Proficiency Test Policy and Plan\,” to bring them into compliance with ISO/IEC 17043 (2023)\, “Conformity Assessment.” W e will conclude our discussion by detailing how PT planning and reporting is executed at the annual Regional Measurement Assurance Program (RMAP) me etings by PT program staff and participating laboratories\, and how this underpins the quality management system (QMS) of state weights and measure s laboratory programs and offers traceability for regulatory activities.\ n\n \n\nDate: October 16\, 2025\n\nTime: 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time\n \nOWM Technical Contact: Micheal Hicks\n\n________________________________ ________________________________________________\n\nMicrosoft Teams Need h elp? \n\nJoin the meeting no w \n\nMeeting ID: 276 279 022 804 \n\nPasscode: n z6nH2GR \n\n________________________________\n\nDial in by phone \n\n+1 20 2-847-6642\,\,672344712# United States\, Washington \n\nFind a local number \n\nPhone conference ID: 672 344 712# \n\nJoin on a video conferencing device \n\nTenant key: teams @join.nist.gov \n\nVideo ID: 117 566 882 0 \n\nMore info \n\nFor organizer s: Meeting options | Reset dial-in PIN \n\nPlease Read Before J oining This Meeting: When joining NIST-hosted meetings\, all participants\ , including guests\, are asked to refrain from recording the meeting by el ectronic means without prior written approval from the meeting host.
