The 5300.4 series of NASA Handbooks for Reliability and Quality Assurance Programs have provisions for the establishment and utilization of a documented metrology system to control measurement processes and to provide objective evidence of quality conformance. The intent of these provisions is to assure consistency and conformance to specifications and tolerances of equipment, systems, materials, and processes procured and/or used by NASA, its international partners, contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers. This Measurement Assurance Program (MAP) guideline has the specific objectives to: (1) ensure the quality of measurements made within NASA programs; (2) establish realistic measurement process uncertainties; (3) maintain continuous control over the measurement processes; and (4) ensure measurement compatibility among NASA facilities. The publication addresses MAP methods as applied within and among NASA installations and serves as a guide to: control measurement processes at the local level (one facility); conduct measurement assurance programs in which a number of field installations are joint participants; and conduct measurement integrity (round robin) experiments in which a number of field installations participate to assess the overall quality of particular measurement processes at a point in time.

Excerpt from Measurement Assurance Programs, Vol. 1: General Introduction This two-part guide has been written in response to numerous inquiries concerning the use of Measurement Assurance Program (map) Services offered in conjunction with the Calibration Services of the National Bureau of Standards. Map Services differ from the usual Calibration Services because they focus on the quality of measurements being made by the participant rather than just the properties of the participant's instruments or standards. The services are offered as an adjunct to the user's own measurement control programs and are designed to help a laboratory quantify the uncertainty of its measurements relative to national standards. Map services represent a new approach to calibra tion and this publication presents the rationale for their use.
