History Of Nist Rockwell Test Block Standards
In 1991, NIST began the development of a national Rockwell hardness standardization laboratory at the urging of the ASTM and U.S. industry. The goals of this program are to standardize the Rockwell hardness scales for the United States and to provide industry with stable national transfer standards

USP's Gary Ritchie with an Update on PAT Standards Development
standards for USP because NIST had given up that standard. They no longer make it, yet it is required to have some traceable standard for any technique. The FDA really likes to have everything required for IQ, OQ, PQ, for method validation. For instance, in chromatography, you need a USP standard to run
