Abstract

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) offers resistance Measurement Assurance Program (MAP) transfers at the 1 ohm and 10 k ohm levels, to provide a method of assessing and maintaining the quality of a customer's measurement process. This document describes the basic concepts of a resistance MAP, and the procedures for participating in the program. A discussion of the data analysis follows, with an explanation of the uncertainty of the estimate of the transfer. Also included is a sample MAP scenario, with data sheets, analysis results, and a final test report.
