Infrastructure
CSD is responsible for the production and maintenance of more than four hundred manufacturing-related reference materials, notable for the production and processing of metals, ores, cements, petroleum, and related materials. Collectively, these SRMs have served an invaluable function within the overall context of a broad range of manufacturing and construction industries for many years. Within the past three years, CSD has been involved in the production and certification of over fifty new manufacturing-related reference materials, to provide continued support to the Nation’s manufacturing infrastructure and to expand this offering in response to changes in manufacturing processes.
