Quality Manual
for Calibration Services
Navigational map
  • The first level, NIST-QM-I  (269 kB PDF), contains NIST-wide policies and procedures stemming (primarily) from the executive leadership of NIST, i.e., the NIST Director and Laboratory Directors. Many of these policies and procedures govern all activities at NIST and thereby are controlling in so far as these activities are part of providing calibration services.

  • The second level, IRD-QM-II  (169 kB PDF), contains policies, guides and procedures established and maintained by the Ionizing Radiation Division to meet its technical needs. The IRD-QM-II explicitly references NIST-QM-I and contains the quality-specific policies, guides and procedures for IRD service-related activities.

  • IRD Guides are protocols for the operational aspects of quality system. Guide examples include protocols for the management of complaints, nonconformance, and audits.

  • IRD Procedures are the standard operating procedures for the IRD services and standard reference materials covered by this manual.
