National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program

摘要

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has received a request to establish a laboratory accreditation program. In a letter dated September 16, 1993, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, Washington, DC requested that NIST establish an accreditation program for testing electric motors for energy efficiency (but not for safety). A copy of the request letter is set out as an appendix to this notice. Announcement of this request by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), and of the NIST request for comments with respect thereto, are being made under the procedures of the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) (15 CFR part 7, subpart B, Sec. 7.11(d)) of the referenced Procedures.
