Book excerpt: Excerpt from Critical Electrical Measurement Needs and Standards for Modern Electronic Instrumentation: Report of a Workshop Sponsored by the National Bureau of Standards, Gaithersburg, Maryland, September 23-24, 1974 The traditional role of the Electricity Division of the National Bureau of Standards has included a variety of activities directed at the support of the electrical measurement portion of the National Measurement System. However, as industrial and governmental applications of the newer electronic technologies have proliferated, it has become apparent that the character of the Division's participa tion indeed leadership must further evolve if it is to continue responsively to serve the nation's electrical measurement needs, specifically in this critical new arena. The pervasiveness of electronic technology has brought to the industrial production floor a measurement sophistication in some traditional areas that rivals what would have been considered outstanding for a well-equipped laboratory not too many years ago. Yet the measurement philosophy exemplified by careful theoretical identification of all sources of uncertainty, followed by equally careful experimental verification, can hardly be said to have accompanied this sophistication to its new location. The Measurement Assurance Programs (map's) with which the Electricity Division has become increasingly concerned of late, are intended in part to be a first step in providing a higher degree of measurement assurance in situ as close to the measurement site as possible.
