ORGANIZATIONS COOPERATING WITH THE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS'

Most of the work of the Bureau of Standards is made effective through voluntary cooperation of States, municipalities, scientific and professional societies, trade associations, manufacturers, and individuals who accept the findings of the bureau (often the result of cooperative research) and incorporate them into a State law, a municipal ordinance, a dimensional standard, or a standard of quality, performance, or practice. All such cooperation is encouraged to promote a better under- standing between producer and consumer and between industries to the end that industry shall, as far as practicable, be self-regulatory. Many national organizations assist the bureau directly in research, standardization, and simplification projects and, in turn, the bureau cooperates officially with numerous national organizations engaged in similar effort, frequently designating members of the staff to serve on committees. The extent of these relationships is shown in the accompanying list, which gives the cooperating agency and the nature of the cooperative project. This list includes also technical committees on which the bureau is represented. Organization supporting research associates at the bureau and groups constituting the membership of bureau advisory committees are listed in other publications.
