These Guidelines were prepared by the Standards Services Division (SSD1), the NIST organization that coordinates the formulation and implementation of the voluntary standards and conformity assessment policies of the Federal Government. A revision of the October 1989 Guidelines, this document provides guidance and background for NIST staff considering or beginning participation in voluntary standards activities and NIST managers who support these activities. The basic material is supplemented with extensive appendices, including a list of useful references, and pertinent websites that are noted throughout the document.
