NIST Handbook 143, Program Handbook (2019) details the criteria used for OWM Laboratory Recognition. NIST Handbook 143, Section 4 and Table 2 notes that annual attendance at the RMAP training session is required for ongoing laboratory Recognition. Participation in OWM proficiency tests (PTs) requires completion of training requirements to the applicable levels for each procedure and requires attendance at the annual RMAP training sessions.

Note: Laboratories must bring a copy of their ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard.

Learning Objectives

Overall, the learning objectives are developed to enable metrologists to implement best practices into their laboratory program and share concepts with others in their laboratory who are unable to attend the training. See the 2022 RMAP agenda for detailed objectives that are provided for each module.

Materials & Supplies

Reference USB drives and notebooks to be provided. If participants need a CD instead of USB drives, contact Yvonne Branden (yvonne.branden [at] nist.gov (yvonne[dot]branden[at]nist[dot]gov)) to make the request. Note: Laboratories must bring a copy of their ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard.
