(2) A typical layout of a company area with one secondary reference

laboratory is in figure 1.

In planning the company layout, the secondary

reference laboratory must be given primary consideration, with the various

other elements being placed in the same building, provided the layout can be

arranged not to adversely affect the secondary reference operations.

(3) Within the secondary reference facility itself, an area should be

provided for transfer section loading, unloading, checkout, and storage.

This area should provide convenient access to the various standards

laboratories within the facility.

(4) If two secondary reference facilities are established in the same

general area, consideration must be given to dispersion, if availability of

facilities permit, to prevent loss of both facilities in the event of

attack.

OPERATION

reference

laboratories maintain

the

secondary

reference standards and accessory equipment used by the calibration company.

teams at intervals specified in TB 43-180.
