In response to the guideline issued by the ASCLD/LAB- International to establish traceability and quality assurance for US ballistics signature measurements using the ISO 17025 Standard-General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories, a NIST/ATF joint project entitled National Ballistics Imaging COmparison (NBIC) was initiated in July 2008. The NBIC Project aims to establish a Traceability and Quality System for ballistics signature measurements in US crime labs with NIBIN using NIST SRM (Standard Reference Material) 2460 bullets and 2461 casings as reference standards.
