Membership Benefits:

NCSL International is an organization that recognizes that new standards have made it essential for companies to remain informed and competent in meeting established requirements for calibration in order to do business in the global marketplace. Our Membership benefits revolve around meeting these challenges, as well as offering many resources and opportunities to develop, enhance and support you in advancing your professional career. Just a few of our benefits include:

NCSLI Committees:

Because NCSLI is keenly attuned to the metrology requirements of the global marketplace, in order to help meet these demands, as well as the special needs of our Member Organizations, NCSLI has established discipline-specific and special interest working Committees from industry groups such as pharmaceutical and healthcare, petrochemicals, utilities, and many others.

Committee participation enables Members to meet practitioners with common interests, similar challenges and solution strategies specific to their industry. NCSLI Committees meet at our Annual Workshop & Symposium, and Committee Members continue to network, dialogue, and interact throughout the year to carry forward to essential work necessary to achieve and excel in their respective disciplines. Some of our Committees include:

International Forum:

NCSL International serves as an organized forum for discussion and information on issues and practices relevant to calibration and metrology worldwide. We maintain active liaison representatives to numerous leading international measurement science organizations. NCSL International Membership benefits the Member Organization by providing ongoing information on changing requirements for standards, regulatory and accreditation compliance, as well as recommended laboratory practices, we receive as a result of our long-standing liaison relationships.

In addition, NCSL International participates in international efforts for development of laboratory competence and accreditation, laboratory safety, interlaboratory comparisons, and metrology education in developing countries. This participation allows NCSL International Members to have input on development of international standards and codes of conduct.

To collaborate and support our international forum further we provide for real-time interactivity on key issues via our NCSLI Public Forums right here on our website.

Regions & Sections:

NCSL International is organized in Regions and Sections of the world and each Region and Section are guided and directed by Coordinators. Region and Section Coordinators are metrology professionals that are enthusiastic about the organization, and about seeing fellow metrologists at all levels succeed and advance in their respective careers. Region and Section meetings are held periodically throughout the year, based upon geographic location and Member needs. See Regions / Sections to find a local meeting near you.

Annual Workshop & Symposium

NCSL International sponsors an annual technical Workshop and Symposium with panels, exhibits, and individual presentations to provide a forum for attendees to exchange information on a wide variety of measurement topics, including implementing national and international standards, achieving laboratory accreditation, new measurement technology, advances in measurement disciplines, laboratory management procedures and skills, equipment management, workforce training, and new instrumentation.

Industry Committee meetings are held in conjunction with the Annual Workshop & Symposium to allow attendees with common interests or specialized practices such as petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, utilities, chemistry, and transportation, to meet.

NCSL International working group Committees also meet at the conference and throughout the year to discuss and develop recommended practices, new or revised standards, and laboratory procedures.

In order to develop and enhance your professional metrology expertise, NCSL International maintains an up-to-date comprehensive online metrology Training Information Directory that includes: instructed courses, as well as self-study courses, video instruction, computer-aided courses, and college programs.

Continuing Education Units:

Beginning in 2001, NCSL International established a relationship with an accredited college to provide Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for attendance at and participation in our annual Conference, Tutorials and Region / Section meetings.

NCSL International maintains this website as a service to educate and inform guests and prospective NCSL International Members, while providing an interactive forum for our Members to communicate with one another on special Committee projects and Regional activities.

In early 1998, NCSL International premiered an exclusive Metrology job-posting database web-site. This feature permits both our Member Organizations with the ability to recruit by posting employment opportunities, and job seekers to search internationally for available positions within any segment or discipline of the industry.
