In the world of legal metrology, the NCWM Metrology Subcommittee, the Community for All Legal Metrologists (CALM), and NIST OWM all play critical roles in ensuring accuracy, precision, consistency, and effective communication. And while many of the players may be the same, the roles and focus areas are distinct. NCWM – Metrology Advocacy and NIST Handbooks The NCWM Metrology subcommittee focus is on technical standards and on the job training consistency among weights and measures programs, as well as practical application training. The goal is to enhance collaboration with NIST to address technical challenges in procedures. The subcommittee is dedicated to ensuring accuracy, fairness, and transparency in weights and measures and will provide ongoing support for the Professional Development Committee related to raising awareness about the importance of metrology in weight and
measures programs. Current Projects:
