About the Standards Services Division (SSD)

The Standards Services Division conducts standards-related programs and provides knowledge and services that will strengthen the U.S. economy and improve the quality of life. Its goals are to ensure recognition and use of U.S. standards domestically and in the global marketplace; promote worldwide acceptance of U.S. test and calibration data to facilitate the marketing of U.S. products; and provide assistance to industry, trade associations, and exporters through its operations, training and information programs.

As the focal point for standards and conformity assessment activities in the Federal Government, the Standards Services Division (SSD) implements the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) by coordinating activities among Federal Agencies and with the private sector and state and local governments.
