NIST Handbook 143, Section 5.2, Table 2 notes that annual attendance at the RMAP training session is required for ongoing laboratory Recognition of State weights and measures metrology staff. Handbook 143, Program Handbook details the criteria used for OWM Laboratory Recognition. In addition, participation in ongoing RMAP proficiency tests (PTs) requires completion of training requirements to the designated level and attendance at the annual RMAP training sessions. The 2025 Combined RMAP will provide the required annual training for State weights and measures laboratory staff according to NIST Handbook 143. It will include technical training as well as proficiency testing planning and review. See Agenda
See the detailed objectives provided for each module. Overall, the learning objectives were developed to enable metrologists to implement best practices into their laboratory programs and share concepts with others in their laboratories who cannot attend the training.
For weights and measures metrology staff and other metrologists who are regular attendees of the Regional Measurement Assurance Program (RMAP) training sessions. Additional metrology staff are welcome to register for the training.
