Maintaining Our International Competitiveness: The Importance of Standards and Conformity Assessment on Industry, Vol. 12: Hearing Before the Subcommi

Specifically, our report recommends that Congress provide nist with a statutory mandate to implement a government-wide policy of phasing out all federally-operated conformity assessment activities by the year 2000 and replacing them with private-sector services recognized by nist. In addition, nist should work with state and local governments to resolve the severe problems of inefficiency and redundancy at those levels. After ten years, remaining duplication in state and local conformity assessment regulations should be eliminated through preemption by federal regulatory agencies.
