The National Bureau of Standards' was established by an act of Congress March 3, 1901.
The Bureau's overall goal is to strengthen and advance the Nation's science and technology
and facilitate their effective application for public benefit. To this end, the Bureau conducts
research and provides: (1) a basis for the Nation's physical measurement system, (2) scientific
and technological services for industry and government, (3) a technical basis for equity in trade,
and (4) technical services to promote -public safety. The Bureau consists of the Institute for
Basic Standards, the Institute for Materials Research, the Institute for Applied Technology,
the Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology, and the Office for Information Programs.
THE INSTITUTE FOR BASIC STANDARDS provides the central basis within the United
States of a complete and consistent system of physical measurement; coordinates that system
with measurement systems of other nations; and furnishes essential services leading to accurate
and uniform physical measurements throughout the Nation's scientific community, industry,
and commerce. The Institute consists of a Center for Radiation Research, an Office of Meas-
urement Services and the following divisions:
Applied Mathematics - Electricity - Mechanics - Heat - Optical Physics - Nuclear
Sciences - Applied Radiation '- Quantum Electronics ' - Electromagnetics* - Time
and Frequency:: - Laboratory Astrophysics " - Cryogenics ::".
THE INSTITUTE FOR MATERIALS RESEARCH conducts materials research leading to
improved methods of measurement, standards, and data on the properties of well-characterized
materials needed by industry, commerce, educational institutions, and Government; provides
advisory and research services to other Government agencies; and develops, produces, and
distributes standard reference materials. The Institute consists of the Office of Standard
Reference Materials and the following divisions:
Analytical Chemistry - Polymers - Metallurgy - Inorganic Materials - Reactor
Radiation - Physical Chemistry.
THE INSTITUTE FOR APPLIED TECHNOLOGY provides technical services to promote
the use of available technology and to facilitate technological innovation in industry and
Government; cooperates with public and private organizations leading to the development of
technological standards (including mandatory safety standards), codes and methods of test;
and provides technical advice and services to Government agencies upon request. The Institute
consists of a Center for Building Technology and the following divisions and offices:
Engineering and Product Standards - Weights and Measures - Invention and Innova-
tion - Product Evaluation Technology - Electronic Technology - Technical Analysis
- Measurement Engineering - Structures, Materials, and Life Safety ' - Building
Environment' - Technical Evaluation and Application' - Fire Technology.
THE INSTITUTE FOR COMPUTER SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY conducts research
and provides technical services designed to aid Government agencies in improving cost effec-
tiveness in the conduct of their programs through the selection, acquisition, and effective
utilization of automatic data processing equipment; and serves as the principal focus within
the executive branch for the development of Federal standards for automatic data processing
equipment, techniques, and computer languages. The Institute consists of the following
divisions:
Computer Services - Systems and Software - Computer Systems Engineering - Informa-
tion Technology.
THE OFFICE FOR INFORMATION PROGRAMS promotes optimum dissemination and
accessibility of scientific information generated within NBS and other agencies of the Federal
Government; promotes the development of the National Standard Reference Data System and
a system of information analysis centers dealing with the broader aspects of the National
Measurement System; provides appropriate services to ensure that the NBS staff has optimum
accessibility to the scientific information of the world. The Office consists of the following
organizational units:
Office of Standard Reference Data - Office of Information Activities - Office of Technical
Publications - Library - Office of International Relations.
