Di National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) na one laboratory wey dey set measurement standards, and e no be regulatory agency of di United States Department of Commerce. Dem mission na to promote innovation and industrial competitiveness.

NIST activities dey organized into laboratory programs wey include Nanoscale Science and Technology, Engineering, Information Technology, Neutron Research, Material Measurement, and Physical Measurement.

Di Articles of Confederation, wey di colonies ratify for 1781, contain di clause, "The United States in Congress assembled go get di sole and exclusive right and power to regulate di alloy and value of coin wey dem strike by their own authority, or by that of di respective states—fixing di standards of weights and measures throughout di United States". Article 1, section 8, of di Constitution of di United States (1789), transfer dis power to Congress; "The Congress go get power...To coin money, regulate di value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix di standard of weights and measures".

For January 1790, President George Washington, for im first annual message to Congress talk say, "Uniformity in di currency, weights, and measures of di United States na one important thing, and I believe say e go dey properly attended to", and e order Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson to prepare one plan for Establishing Uniformity in di Coinage, Weights, and Measures of di United States, wey later dem refer to as di Jefferson report. On October 25, 1791, Washington beg Congress for di third time, "A uniformity of di weights and measures of di country na one important thing wey dem submit to una by di Constitution and if e fit come from one standard wey dey constant and universal, e must be no less honorable to di public council than conducive to di public convenience", but e no be until 1838, before dem work out one uniform set of standards.
