In practice, NIST OWM often works interactively and collaboratively with many of our partners to develop, promote, and deliver our Products and Services. Some of our products and services are produced in direct partnership with our stakeholders, such as the publication of the NIST Handbooks 44, 130, and 133 with the National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM).
