Standard Reference Instrument Pricing

Standard Reference Instrument Pricing

As an agency of the U.S. Government, NIST establishes the prices of its measurement services in accordance with Federal statutes. Accordingly, the prices of Standard Reference Instrumentation (SRI) are determined by the actual costs incurred in their production, including all applicable surcharges and overheads. Production costs, overhead and surcharge rates are used to calculate the price for each SRI.

Early in each calendar year, and on other occasions during the year when costs have changed, all SRI may be re-priced taking into account the updates for overhead and surcharge rates as determined by NIST and the Department of Commerce. On these occasions SRI prices are adjusted to reflect these changes.
