NIST OWM and KEBS: Building Metrology Capacity for the RMOs | NIST

January 7, 2025

NIST Office of Weights and Measures (OWM) and the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) are currently conducting an interlaboratory mass comparison as part of a larger, multifaceted mass metrology training program being developed by Dr. Ombati Nyangau, OWM’s NIST International Associate and KEBS’s lead mass metrologist.  The results of this comparison will assist the KEBS mass laboratory with improvement actions that will be integrated into its mass proficiency testing (PT) program and overall metrology training portfolio. This capacity building and knowledge transfer effort is geared toward a future rollout of a metrology training program within the Intra-Africa Metrology System (AFRIMETS) community as one of six regional metrology organizations (RMOs) comprised of National Metrology Institutes (NMIs).
