About us
The primary vision of AASHTO re:source is to be the center for promoting quality and achievement of excellence in construction materials testing (CMT). We provide services and tools through our three major programs: the Laboratory Assessment Program (LAP), the Proficiency Sample Program (PSP), and the AASHTO Accreditation Program (AAP). Through these activities, we evaluate testing competency, promote continual improvement, and instill confidence in the laboratories and specifiers that use our programs. AASHTO re:source is part of the Engineering and Technical Services division of AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials), an international leader in setting technical standards for all phases of highway system development. AASHTO represents all fifty states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico and serves as a liaison between the state departments of transportation and the federal government. AASHTO’s primary goal is to foster the development, operation, and maintenance of an integrated national transportation system.

Calibration VS Standardization Calibration: - Compares a measuring instrument’s results to a reference standard. - Includes estimated measurement uncertainty for each test point. - Essential for achieving traceability. Standardization: - Involves defining and adopting consistent practices, methods, and units across different laboratories or industries. - Standardization does not necessarily involve calibration. - It ensures uniformity and consistency but does not directly address measurement validity. https://lnkd.in/eHhqmS9v

One benefit of developing & implementing an effective QMS is improved consistency. All your key processes should be sufficiently defined, outlined, and documented in your QMS. This will help you steer clear of guesswork and error and promotes consistency in how the work is done. Learn more https://lnkd.in/dVQWPWvX

Auditing is an exercise in sampling. During #InternalAudits, you can't look at everything. Select random samples before & during the audit – who to interview, what questions to ask, documents, records, and processes to review, etc. Remember the auditor selects the samples.
