Standards Compliance Report

The annual reporting method was developed by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and is an electronic report prepared by all Federal Agencies based on standards compliance.  This report is compiled by NIST and sent to Office of Management and Budget and Congress.

Why is our agency involved?

• The agencies involvement and compliance is due to Public Law, the agencies contribution of standards development can increase productivity and efficiency in Government and industry, and expand opportunities for international trade, conserve resources, improve health and safety, and protect the environment
• It means that the general requirements for all Federal Agencies must use voluntary consensus standards (VCS) in lieu of government-unique standards except where inconsistent with law or otherwise impractical.
• Eliminate the necessity for development or maintenance of separate Government-unique standards
• Support government to government trade agreements
• Accreditation recognized Internationally
• Savings in manpower and money

The Act was implemented to coordinate Federal, State, and local conformity assessment activities with those of the private-sector to eliminate unnecessary duplication and complexity in development requirements.  It was further designed by the National Technology Transfer and Advancement (NTTAA) to work together to develop and maintain a system in the U.S. that would recognize laboratory accreditation bodies to accredit testing and calibration laboratories to meet the procurement and other requirements of the public and private sectors.

As a result of this mandate the (NTTAA) implemented P.L 104-113 which became law in March 1996, and provides guidance to agencies.  The Act was later revised February 1998 and today is listed in the Federal Registry Circular A-119.
